Capturing ammonia from anaerobically digested manure could simultaneously decrease the adverse effects of ammonia inhibition on biogas production, reduce reactive nitrogen (N) loss to the environment, and produce mineral N fertilizer as a by-product. In this study, gas permeable membranes (GPM) were used to capture ammonia from dairy manure and digestate by the diffusion of gaseous ammonia acro...

A relativistic quark model and a new set of wave functions of nucleon and ∆ have been used to study the electromagnetic properties of 12 + baryons and photoelectric production of ∆(1236). Theoretical results of GpM (q 2), μp, μΛ, μpG p E(q )/GpM (q 2), GE(q 2), and GM1+(q 2), μ, E1+, S1+ of p → ∆ are presented.

We describe a major update of our Matlab freeware GloptiPoly for parsing generalized problems of moments and solving them numerically with semidefinite programming. 1 What is GloptiPoly ? Gloptipoly 3 is intended to solve, or at least approximate, the Generalized Problem of Moments (GPM), an infinite-dimensional optimization problem which can be viewed as an extension of the classical problem o...

BACKGROUND To investigate the utility of three-dimensional guide-point modeling (GPM) to reduce the time required for CMR evaluation of global cardiac function in mice, by reducing the number of image slices required for accurate quantification of left-ventricular (LV) mass and volumes. METHODS Five female C57Bl/6 mice 8 weeks post myocardial infarction induced by permanent occlusion of the l...

PURPOSE To prospectively assess the performance of highly accelerated cine MRI in multi-orientations combined with a new guide-point modeling post-processing technique (GPM approach) for assessment of left ventricular (LV) function compared to the standard summation of slices method based on a stack of short axis views (SoS approach). MATERIALS AND METHODS 33 consecutive patients were examine...

BACKGROUND Dual diagnosis is common in Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), one of the most common being Substance Use Disorder (SUD). Previous studies have shown that general psychiatric management (GPM) was effective in reducing borderline symptoms. In the present study, we tested whether the short GPM was as effective in the BPD + SUD as in the BPD group. METHODS We analysed a group of 9...

The rising popularity of multi-source, multi-sensor networks supporting real-life applications calls for an efficient and intelligent approach to information fusion. Traditional optimization techniques often fail to meet the demands. The evolutionary approach provides a valuable alternative due to its inherent parallel nature and its ability to deal with difficult problems. We present a new evo...

Retailers, particularly those in the style-goods and fashion apparel industry, are increasingly demanding guaranteed profit margins (GPMs) from their vendors. Under a GPM stipulation, a vendor has to offer a rebate to maintain the retailer’s target margin on the item if the retailer is compelled to take a markdown from the initial price to sell out the ordered quantity for the season. Vendors d...

In common genetic programming approaches, the space of genotypes, that is the search space, is identical to the space of phenotypes, that is the solution space. Facts and theories from molecular biology suggest the introduction of non-identical ge-nospaces and phenospaces, and a generic genotype-phenotype mapping which maps unconstrained genotypes into syntactically correct phenotypes. Neutral ...
