Many procellariiforms use olfactory cues to locate food patches over the seemingly featureless ocean surface. In particular, some of them are able to detect and are attracted by dimethylsulphide (DMS), a volatile compound naturally occurring over worldwide oceans in correspondence with productive feeding areas. However, current knowledge is restricted to sub-Antarctic species and to only one st...

In the consensus reaching process (CRP) permitting negotiation, efficiency of negotiation is affected by order with decision makers (DMs), time, and number moderators. this paper, sorted against DMs considering time initiated into making, which can improve speed effectiveness consensus. Based on opinion dynamics (opinion evolution), uniform normal distributions are used to describe uncertainty ...

This article proposes a bidirectional feedback mechanism for consensus in group decision making (GDM) driven by the behavior of makers (DMs), which is discriminated with flexible harmony degree as one three possible states: (1) ‘tolerance behavior’; (2) ‘rationalist and (3) ‘conflict behavior’. The first two states are to be resolved reaching process round recommendations discordant DMs. Howeve...

To construct a data warehouse (DW) as a collection of data marts (DMs) all at once in a single project is very difficult. There is a need to determine the first DM that should be constructed. After two or more DMs are constructed, the next problem is integrating all DMs into the enterprise DW. This paper is adaptation of bus matrix, quality function deployment (QFD) matrix, political factors an...

We prove that every sufficiently big 6-connected graph of bounded treewidth either has a K6 minor, or has a vertex whose deletion makes the graph planar. This is a step toward proving that the same conclusion holds for all sufficiently big 6-connected graphs. Jørgensen conjectured that it holds for all 6-connected graphs. 8 April 2005, revised 4 September 2008. Partially supported by NSF under ...

To determine whether microscopically visible double-minute chromosomes (DMs) are derived from submicroscopic precursors, we monitored the amplification of the dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) gene in 10 independent isolates of methotrexate (MTX)-resistant mouse cells. At every other doubling in MTX concentration, the cells were examined both microscopically, to detect the presence of microscopica...

A plasmid bearing both a replication initiation region and a matrix attachment region is spontaneously amplified in transfected mammalian cells and generates plasmid repeats in the extrachromosomal double minutes (DMs) or the chromosomal homogeneously staining region (HSR). Generally, the repeat sequences are subject to repeat-induced gene silencing, the mechanism of which remains to be elucida...

The solar radiation dose in the oceanic upper mixed layer (SRD) has recently been identified as the main climatic force driving global dimethylsulfide (DMS) dynamics and seasonality. Because DMS is suggested to exert a cooling effect on the earth radiative budget through its involvement in the formation and optical properties of tropospheric clouds over the ocean, a positive relationship betwee...

Double-minute chromosomes (DMs) were observed in repeated samples in the leukocytes of a patient with a previous history of cervical carcinoma. The most interesting cytogenetic finding was the coexistence of DMs and a dicentric chromosome along with chromosome- and chromatid-type breaks and gaps. This observation suggests that DMs might originate through the breakage of existing chromosomes. Th...

AIM It is still unclear whether telemonitoring reduces hospitalization and mortality in heart failure (HF) patients and whether adding an Information and Computing Technology-guided-disease-management-system (ICT-guided-DMS) improves clinical and patient reported outcomes or reduces healthcare costs. METHODS A multicenter randomized controlled trial was performed testing the effects of INnova...
