Bloom Filters for Filesystem Forensics
… and memory capacity just exacerbate the problem. Bloom filters are space-efficient, probabilistic data structures that can represent data sets with quantifiable false positive rates that have the potential to alleviate the problem by reducing space requirements. We provide a framework using Bloom …

Recruitment from resting stages among bloom-forming cyanobacteria
Cyanobacteria are known to form heavy blooms in eutrophicated freshwaters and also form resting stages, associated with the sediments, during harsh growth conditions. These resting stages can serve as inoculum for pelagic populations and function as a potential source for bloom formations. However, …

Idempotent distributed counters using a Forgetful Bloom Filter
… server-side data structure called the Forgetful Bloom Filter (FBF). Like a traditional Bloom filter, an FBF is a compact representation of a set of elements (e.g., client requests). However, an FBF is more powerful than a Bloom filter in two aspects: i) it can forget older elements (e.g., …

The biophysical processes controlling the South-East Madagascar Bloom
Phytoplankton blooms are ecological hotspots in the ocean, and are fundamental to the biogeochemical cycling of elements, the storage of carbon and the ability to regulate the atmospheric carbon dioxide; and the life in the ocean. The South-East Madagascar Bloom, one of the largest blooms in the …

The use of operational harmful algal bloom monitoring systems in South Africa to assess long term changes to bloom occurrence & impacts for aquaculture
… threats to aquaculture are harmful algal blooms (HABs), a natural ecological phenomenon often accompanied by severe impacts on coastal resources and local economies. There is a wide variety of potentially harmful blooming species in the region, with impacts resulting from both toxicity and …

Application of hydrogen peroxide as brown tide bloom control agent
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are growing problem across the globe. One such HAB that's recurring in the coastal waters of New York and New Jersey since mid-1980s, and has been reported in other countries recently, is brown tide bloom. The causal organism is a minute pel agophyte (cell diameter ~- 2 …

Toxins and Toxicity from the Cosmopolitan, Bloom-Forming Dinoflagellate Karlodinium micrum
… the primary harmful effect associated with blooms of this organism is ichthyotoxicity. Karlotoxins are lethal to fish through damage to gill epithelia. This research focused on two of these toxins, KmTx 1 (1338 Da.) and KmTx 2 (1344 Da.) These two toxins have been the main toxins, in terms …
