	SCOPE 42 - Biogeochemistry of Major World Rivers, Chapter 9, Dissolved Organic Carbon in Rivers
		Determination of the origin of DOC is generally performed by measurement of stable carbon isotope ratios, measurement of specific bioindicators, or by the use of spectral pattern differences on isolates of DOC.
		As a consequence, DOC in rivers is usually comprised of minor amounts of biodegradable plant, phytoplankton and bacterial residues, which are being rapidly recycled, and major amounts of bio- logical refractory residues comprised of substituted aromatic structures, and branched and cyclic aliphatic structures which are partially oxidized.
		River environments where abiotic hydrolysis rates of DOC (and POC) may increase are upper estuaries (suppression of polyelectrolyte charge by ionic strength increase) and at the confluence of flwater rivers with rivers containing significant dissolved calcium and magnesium concentrations (suppression of polyelectrolyte charge by neutral ion complexes).

		But Doc may not have thought this through, now there are only 5 seconds left and this is the NBA not the NCAA, no one and one, and teams are generally going to keep the ball for the 1 second they have it in the hands of their 2-3 80% foul shooters.
		Doc Rivers isn’t the worst coach in the league, it’s that damn coach of the Celtics.
		Doc needs to develop in these areas, and I think he is capable of doing so (Bill Belichick certainly showed growth from his Cleveland days to his Patriot days: he became a genius, was not born one).
