Amorphous silicates in meteoritic samples are significant as potential surviving interstellar dust from the formation of Solar System. silicate-rich grains called GEMS, glass with embedded metal and sulfides, abundant anhydrous interplanetary particles some ultracarbonaceous Antarctic micrometeorites that have high presolar grain abundances. Some GEMS within these objects been confirmed to be p...

It is well known and has been shown that the gain performance of Gaseous Electron Multipliers (GEM) depends on size holes. With an optical scanner it possible to measure dimensions holes, predict GEMs. However, prediction GEMs are manufactured with a double mask etching technique not straightforward. hole information alone, make precise gain. We show alignment photo-masks between two sides GEM ...

This paper describes a speech enhancement system that significantly improves speech intelligibility of noisy speech in the context of a speech coder in low SNR conditions. The system uses two state-of-the-art non-acoustic sensors, a general electromagnetic motion sensor (GEMS) that detects the internal motions of glottis, and a physiological microphone (P-mic) that measures vibrations of the sk...

With the rapidly increasing availability of event stream data there is growing interest in multivariate temporal point process models to capture both qualitative and quantitative features of this type of data. Recent research on multivariate point processes have focused in inference and estimation problems for restricted classes of models such as continuous time Bayesian networks, Markov jump p...

BACKGROUND Diarrhea is a leading cause of illness and death among children aged <5 years in developing countries. This paper describes the clinical and epidemiological methods used to conduct the Global Enteric Multicenter Study (GEMS), a 3-year, prospective, age-stratified, case/control study to estimate the population-based burden, microbiologic etiology, and adverse clinical consequences of ...

Cajal bodies (CBs) are subnuclear domains implicated in small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) biogenesis. In most cell types, CBs coincide with nuclear gems, which contain the survival of motor neurons (SMN) complex, an essential snRNP assembly factor. Here, we analyze the exchange kinetics of multiple components of CBs and gems in living cells using photobleaching microscopy. We demonstrate ...

This special supplement to Ethnicity & Disease presents the background and rationale, methodology, feasibility, and results of 4 separate interventions that were pilot-tested in Phase 1 of the Girls health Enrichment Multi-site Studies (GEMS) research program. The ultimate aim of the interventions was to prevent obesity in African-American girls. Four field centers, a Coordinating Center, and t...

MOTIVATION In recent years, genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs) have played important roles in areas like systems biology and bioinformatics. However, because of the complexity of gene-reaction associations, GEMs often have limitations in gene level analysis and related applications. Hence, the existing methods were mainly focused on applications and analysis of reactions and metabolites. RE...
