SWR1-type nucleosome remodeling factors replace histone H2A by variants to endow chromatin locally with specialized functionality. In Drosophila melanogaster a single H2A variant, H2A.V, combines functions of mammalian H2A.Z and H2A.X in transcription regulation and the DNA damage response. A major role in H2A.V incorporation for the only SWR1-like enzyme in flies, Domino, is assumed but not we...

Our previous research has demonstrated that dissolved organic matter (DOM) influences calcium carbonate mineral formation in surface and ground water. To better understand DOM mediation of carbonate precipitation and DOM co-precipitation and/or incorporation with carbonate minerals, we characterized the content and speciation of DOM in carbonate minerals and in the lake water of Pyramid Lake, N...

We investigated dissolved organic matter (DOM) metabolism by employing plug-flow biofilm reactors and ultra– high resolution mass spectrometry of DOM isolated by C18 extraction in two forested stream ecosystems, a low DOM tropical stream sampled at baseflow and a higher DOM temperate stream sampled during a storm. On passage through the bioreactors, DOM concentrations in the tropical stream sam...

Let A be a positive self-adjoint operator and let B be an m-accretive operator which is A-small with a relative bound less than one. Let H = A + B, then H is well-deened on dom(H) = dom(A) and m-accretive. If B is a strictly m-accretive operator obeying dom((H)) dom(A) \ dom((B)) 6 = f0g for some 2 (0; 1]; (1) then for the Trotter product formula we prove that ?

A common problem encountered in product or process design is the selection of optimal parameters that involves simultaneous consideration of multiple response characteristics, called a multiple response surface problem. There are several approaches proposed for multiple response surface optimization (MRO), including the desirability function approach and the loss function approach. The existing...

We introduce two reactive frameworks for dynamically adapting some parameters of an Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm. Both reactive frameworks use ACO to adapt parameters: pheromone trails are associated with parameter values; these pheromone trails represent the learnt desirability of using parameter values and are used to dynamically set parameters in a probabilistic way. The two frame...

The seasonal distribution of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in Damietta estuary of the Nile was investigated to show the influence of organic pollution. The DOM values increased generally with depth. The vertical values of DOM varied from 0.23-9.97 mg O/l. The average DOM values gave noticeable local variations in each month and pronounced monthly variations at each station. The maximum monthly...

Dissolved organic matter (DOM), although highly variable and not very well characterized, plays a role in many important environmental reaction and transport processes, including trace metal mobilization. This study characterizes heterogeneous DOM from the pore-water of a restored urban tidal marsh, using chemical, optical, and electrochemical methods for dissolved organic carbon/nitrogen ratio...

Processing XML documents in multi-user database management environments requires a suitable storage model, support of typical XML document processing (XDP) interfaces, and concurrency control mechanisms tailored to the XML data model. In this paper, we sketch our prototype native XML database system called XML Transaction Coordinator (XTC) and specify the operations for accessing and modifying ...
