We present 8 yr of long-term water quality, climatological, and water management data for 17 locations in Everglades National Park, Florida. Total phosphorus (P) concentration data from freshwater sites (typically ,0.25 mmol L21, or 8 mg L21) indicate the oligotrophic, P-limited nature of this large freshwater–estuarine landscape. Total P concentrations at estuarine sites near the Gulf of Mexic...

A method for the determination of Se(iv) and Se(vi) species in water samples is described based on the cathodic stripping voltammetry of copper selenide at the mercury electrode using an automated flow system. The use of a voltammetric flow-through cell facilitates the automation of the measurements. It is shown that the applied electrolyte exchange is reducing the matrix effect during the volt...

opposite responses to elevated O3, and include increased photosynthesis and decreased stomatal conductance Tropospheric O3 can cause foliar injury, decreased growth, and (Jones et al., 1984; Jones et al., 1985; Rogers et al., 1983a; decreased yield, whereas CO2 enrichment generally causes opposite effects. Little is known about plant response to mixtures of O3 and CO2. Sionit et al., 1984), dev...

Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is one of the most important unsupervised methods to handle highdimensional data. However, due to the high computational complexity of its eigen decomposition solution, it hard to apply PCA to the large-scale data with high dimensionality. Meanwhile, the squared L2-norm based objective makes it sensitive to data outliers. In recent research, the L1-norm maximi...

Ribosomal protein L21 (RPL21) is a structural component of the 60S subunit of the eukaryotic ribosome. This protein has an important role in protein synthesis and the occurrence of hereditary diseases. Pig is a common laboratory model, however, to the best of our knowledge, its RPL21 gene has not been cloned to date. In this study, we cloned and identified the full-length sequence of the pig RP...

The transformation behaviors on metamagnetic shape memory Ni46.4Mn38.8In12.8Co2.0 film were investigated by X-ray diffraction experiments in the temperature up to 473 K and magnetic fields μ0H up to 5 T. The prepared film showed the parent phase with L21 structure at 473 K, and with preferred orientation along the 111 plane. The magnetic field induced reverse transformation was directly observe...
