Relationship of Algebraic Theories to Powerset Theories and Fuzzy Topological Theories for Lattice-Valued Mathematics by S. E. Rodabaugh

“…The syntactic benefits of having an algebraic theory as a foundation for the powerset theory underlying a (fuzzy) topological theory are explored; the relationship between these two specific questions is discussed; the role of pseudo-adjoints is identified in variable-basis powerset theories which are algebraically generated; the relationships between topological theories in the sense of Adámek-Herrlich-Strecker and topological theories in the sense of this paper are fully resolved; lower-image operators introduced for fixed-basis mathematics are completely described in terms of standard image operators; certain algebraic theories are given which determine powerset theories determining a new class of variable-basis categories for topology and fuzzy topology using new preimage operators; and the theories of this paper are undergirded throughout by several extensive inventories of examples.…”

Grazing mortality as a controlling factor in the uncultured non-cyanobacterial diazotroph (Gamma A) around the Kuroshio region by T. Sato, T. Sato, T. Yamaguchi, K. Hidataka, S. Sogawa, T. Setou, T. Kodama, T. Kodama, T. Shiozaki, K. Takahashi

“…In this study, we investigated the diazotroph community structure using <i>nifH</i> amplicon sequencing and quantified the growth and microzooplankton grazing mortality rate of Gamma A using a combination of dilution experiments and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in well-lit waters at the northern edge of the Kuroshio Current off the southern coast of Japan. In the study region, Gamma A was ubiquitous and dominant in the diazotroph communities, whereas cyanobacterial diazotrophs had lower relative abundances. …”
