9 The objectives of this study were to estimate variance components, genetic 10 parameters, EBV, accuracies, and rankings for nine ultrasound and carcass traits in a 11 multibreed Angus-Brahman population using three genomic-polygenic models and one 12 polygenic model (PM). The genomic-polygenic models used the complete GeneSeek 13 GPF250k SNP set (GPM), top 5% SNP (GPMR1), and 5% SNP evenly sp...

We introduce Gradient Particle Magnetohydrodynamics (GPM), a new Lagrangian method for magnetohydrodynamics based on gradients corrected for the locally disordered particle distribution. The development of a numerical code for MHD simulation using the GPM algorithm is outlined. Validation tests simulating linear and nonlinear sound waves, linear MHD waves, advection of magnetic fields in a magn...

The de novo formation of basal bodies in Naegleria gruberi was preceded by the transient formation of a microtubule (MT)-nucleating complex containing gamma-tubulin, pericentrin, and myosin II complex (GPM complex). The MT-nucleating activity of GPM complexes was maximal just before the formation of visible basal bodies and then rapidly decreased. The regulation of MT-nucleating activity of GPM...

Gynostemma pentaphyllum (Thunb.) Makino (GpM) (Jiaogulan) has been widely used in Chinese medicine for the treatment of several diseases, including hepatitis, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Furthermore, GpM has recently been shown to exhibit potent anti-cancer activities. In this review, we have summarized recent research progress on the anti-cancer activities and mechanisms of action of ...

NASA is developing a Ground Validation System (GVS) as one of its contributions to the Global Precipitation Mission (GPM). The GPM GVS provides an independent means for evaluation, diagnosis, and ultimately improvement of GPM spaceborne measurements and precipitation products. NASA's GPM GVS consists of three elements: field campaignslphysical validation, direct network validation, and modeling...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the association between pain and functional independence in older adults during and after admission to rehabilitation after an acute illness or injury. DESIGN Prospective, observational cohort study. SETTING One community and one Veterans Affairs rehabilitation center. PARTICIPANTS Individuals aged 65 and older admitted for rehabilitation after an acute illness o...

This paper presents a novel generalized particle model (GPM) for the parallel optimization of enterprise computing*. Since enterprise computing always involves the resource allocation, task assignment, and behavior coordination, without loss of generality, the proposed GPM is devoted to the optimization of enterprise computing in the context of the resource allocation and task assignment in com...

We consider the generalized problem of moments (GPM) from a computational point of view and provide a hierarchy of semidefinite programming relaxations whose sequence of optimal values converges to the optimal value of the GPM. We then investigate in detail various examples of applications in optimization, probability, financial economics and optimal control, which all can be viewed as particul...
