We present new estimates of emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O) from rivers and estuaries, using the NEWS-DIN model. NEWS-DIN is a model of the global transport of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) by rivers to coastal waters (Dumont et al. forthcoming). It calculates DIN export rates as a function of watershed characteristics, including human influences. We used the calculated DIN export rates b...

Environmental cues transduced by an endocrine network converge on Caenorhabditis elegans nuclear receptor DAF-12 to mediate arrest at dauer diapause or continuous larval development. In adults, DAF-12 selects long-lived or short-lived modes. How these organismal choices are molecularly specified is unknown. Here we show that coregulator DIN-1 and DAF-12 physically and genetically interact to in...

The present paper is designed to explore the belief system prevailing in a rural community of the Punjab, Pakistan. In particular, prevalence of beliefs regarding superstitions, dreams and shrines are studied along with other supernatural aspects such as black magic, taweez and ghosts. Data are taken from a probability sample survey conducted in the village. The survey covered various aspects o...

Die Normen DIN EN 61508 und DIN EN 62304 beschreiben Sicherheitsanforderungen für die Entwicklung von Software im medizinischen Umfeld. Diese beinhalten u.a. Vorschriften zur Verifikation und Diagnose (Kapitel C5, DIN EN 61508-7 [Di09]), zur Beurteilung der funktionalen Sicherheit (Kapitel C6, DIN EN 61508-7 [Di09]), zur Implementierung und Verifikation von Software-Einheiten (Kapitel 5.5, DIN ...

BACKGROUND The General Practice Research Database (GPRD) and Doctor's Independent Network Database (DIN), are large electronic primary care databases compiled in the UK during the 1990s. They provide a valuable resource for epidemiological and health services research. GPRD (based on VAMP) presents notes as a series of discrete episodes, whereas DIN is based on a system (MEDITEL) that used a Pr...

In this study, we evaluated the sink and source of the surface water along the PRE using a mixing model method with salinity as tracer. The observational data showed that the decreasing of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) did not closely follow the physical mixing lines of freshwater and modified seawater. In the western part, DIN consumption by phytoplankton and bacteria uptake (ΔDIN)varied ...
