A simple, highly sensitive, accurate and selective method for determination of trace amounts of Ni2+ in water samples. In this paper, Dioctylphthalate (DOP) was used to encapsulate nano-Fe3O4 and produce a nano-Fe3O4-DOP sorbent based new sorbent was prepared. This was treated with ethylenediamine (ED) in another solvent-free procedure for the formation of a novel nano-Fe3O4-DOP-ED. Flame atomi...

This chapter will briefly describe the Alignment-Based Learning (ABL) framework and relate it to Data-Oriented Parsing from different viewpoints. Firstly, ABL can be used to bootstrap an initial treebank, which can then be used by DOP. Secondly, ABL can be used to enhance the robustness of DOP. Thirdly, a DOP model can be used to disambiguate ambiguous syntactic structures found during the lear...

Despite its state-of-the-art performance, the Data Oriented Parsing (DOP) model has been shown to suffer from biased parameter estimation, and the good performance seems more the result of ad hoc adjustments than correct probabilistic generalization over the data. In recent work, we developed a new estimation procedure, called Backoff Estimation, for DOP models that are based on Phrase-Structur...

One-day-old Cherry valley meat-strain ducks were used to investigate the effect of supplemental dried oregano powder (DOP) in feed on the productivity, antioxidant enzyme activity, and breast meat quality. One hundred sixty five ducks were assigned to 5 dietary treatments for 42 days. The dietary treatment groups were control group (CON; no antibiotic, no DOP), antibiotic group (ANT; CON+0.1% P...

[1] Here we describe, test, and apply a system of spatially explicit, global models for predicting river export of three dissolved organic matter (DOM) components: dissolved organic carbon (DOC), dissolved organic nitrogen (DON), and dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP). The DON and DOP models represent the first attempt to model DON and DOP export in a spatially explicit, global manner. DOC, DON...

The Effect of hydroxy isothiocyanates on a bacterial virus and M13 DNA was examined. Hydroxy-substituted phenyl and phenyl alkyl isothiocyanates, especially 2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)ethyl isothiocyanate(IT-Dop) synthesized from dopamine, showed antiviral activity on psiK. In transfection experiments with M13 mp DNA species, IT-Dop inhibited the single-stranded (SS) molecule more effectively than ...

We measured pools of dissolved phosphorus (P), including dissolved inorganic P (DIP), dissolved organic P (DOP) and alkaline phosphatase (AP)-hydrolyzable labile DOP (L-DOP), and kinetic parameters of AP activity (APA) in the euphotic zone in the western North Pacific Ocean. Samples were collected from one coastal station in Sagami Bay, Japan, and three offshore stations between the North Pacif...

A Manufacture Support System using Taguchi Methods was developed and evaluated. This system consists of a Taguchi methods part, a CAE simulation part and a management part of productivity. The Taguchi methods part was firstly used for calculating the average and the standard deviation regarding all combinations using all parameters. The CAE part was then used for shortening the total time of ev...

lor, 1989; Wada, 1989). However, little is known about the adsorption characteristics of DOP. Only one study Leaching of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and associated nutrihas examined adsorption isotherms of DOP in natural ents can be a significant loss from developing ecosystems. We studied DOM for soils. Kaiser (2001) compared the adsorption how the adsorption of dissolved organic P (DOP) an...

The degree of polarization (DoP) can be utilized as a detection statistic in the polarimetric radar to achieve target detection performance improvement. In this paper, a polarimetric radar model is established, which includes reflections from both target and clutter at first. Then, probability density functions (PDFs) of the estimated DoP are expressed in closed form, which is derived from join...
