The influence of the phytoplankton-specific organic compound glycolate on bacterial community structure was examined during the 2004 spring phytoplankton bloom (February to April) in Dabob Bay in Washington. The diversity of the bacteria able to utilize glycolate during the phytoplankton bloom was determined using previously developed PCR primers to amplify the gene for the D subunit of glycola...

Primary production and uptake rates of ammonium, nitrate and silicic acid were measured during the 1996 spring bloom in the Oslofjord, southern Norway, using isotope methodology (14C, 15N and 32Si). Chlorophyll a (chl a) standing stock peaked at 38 mg chl a m–3. Diatoms, especially Thalassiosira nordenskioeldii, dominated the plankton community. The diatom bloom followed a sigmoid growth patter...

How capitalist organizations ensure the obedience of its members has long been a matter of discussion. Behind the idealism of “market freedom” lie more troubling realities of daily subordination and ideologies of conformity. Increasingly scholars have studied the effect of subjugating subjectivities present in capitalist production. Two specific features of modern capitalism have been the utili...

We consider the problem of succinctly encoding a static map to support approximate queries. We derive upper and lower bounds on the space requirements in terms of the error rate and the entropy of the distribution of values over keys: our bounds differ by a factor log e. For the upper bound we introduce a novel data structure, the Bloom map, generalising the Bloom filter to this problem. The lo...

The Bloom filter is a space efficient randomized data structure for representing a set and supporting membership queries. Bloom filters intrinsically allow false positives. However, the space savings they offer outweigh the disadvantage if the false positive rates are kept sufficiently low. Inspired by the recent application of the Bloom filter in a novel multicast forwarding fabric, this paper...

Benthic communities below the photic zone depend for food on allochthonous organic matter derived from seasonal phytoplankton blooms. In the Baltic Sea, the spring diatom bloom is considered the most important input of organic matter, whereas the contribution of the summer bloom dominated by diazotrophic cyanobacteria is less understood. The possible increase in cyanobacteria blooms as a conseq...

Bloom syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder, which is characterized by telangiectasia and erythema in the butterfly area of the face, dwarfism and photosensitivity. The case presented herein is a 22-year-old man who referred with facial erythema and telangiectasia (Resembling lupus erythematosus). The skin lesions were exacerbating during summer. Other clinical findings were p...

Aceto, L., GSOS and finite labelled transition systems, Theoretical Computer Science 131 (1994) 181-195. Recently there has been considerable interest in studying formats of Plotkin style inference rules which ensure that the induced labelled transition system semantics have certain properties, In this note, I shall give a contribution to this line of research by giving a restricted version of ...

• The timing of N fertilization needs to consider the seasonal fluctuations in nitrogen (N) uptake. These could be summarized as followes: _ during the four weeks after budbreak : N is sourced from N stored in permanent structures, _ from 2 weeks before bloom to 4 weeks after bloom: there is a major N uptake by the roots, and _ after 4 weeks post-bloom: new peaks of N uptake happen at veraison ...

Approximate set-membership tests, exemplified by Bloom filters [1], have numerous applications in networking and distributed systems. A Bloom filter is a compact data structure to quickly answer if a given item is in a set with some small false positive probability ε . Due to its simplicity and high space efficiency, Bloom filters become widely used in network traffic measurement, packet routin...
