ggregation of ␥-tubulin, pericentrin, and myosin II (GPM) precedes de novo basal body assembly, according to a report from Kim et al. on page 719. The number of basal bodies formed is controlled by the duration of ␥-tubulin phosphorylation. Until now, it has not been clear whether basal body and centriole formation occurred before or after clouds of pericentriolar material take shape. To answer...

Recognizing the influence of gender-based inequality on health outcomes, international organizations have advocated integrating a gender perspective into health programs.1 To recommend evidence-based strategies to accomplish this goal, the Gender, Policy and Measurement (GPM) program—funded by the Asia bureau of USAID—conducted a systematic review of published and unpublished literature documen...

10 The constellation of space-borne passive microwave (MW) sensors, coordinated under 11 the framework of the Precipitation Measurement Missions international agreement, 12 continuously produces observations of clouds and precipitation all over the globe. The Goddard 13 Profiling Algorithm (GPROF) is designed to infer the instantaneous surface precipitation rate 14 from the measured MW radiance...

BACKGROUND The experience of pain can have a significant impact on the everyday life of individuals including those with COPD. Recently, pain has emerged as an area in COPD research. When considering pain measurement in COPD studies, it is important to consider the validity, reliability, responsiveness and interpretability of instruments and tools. This review sought to assess these domains of ...

Plant traits can influence the interactions between herbivore arthropods and their natural enemies. In these interactions generalist predators are often present, preying on herbivores and also on other arthropods in the same trophic guild. Variation in the strength of intraguild predation (IGP) may be related to habitat structural complexity and to additional resources outside the narrow predat...

As the successor of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission significantly improves the spatial resolution of precipitation estimates from 0.25 ̋ to 0.1 ̋. The present study analyzed the error structures of Integrated Multisatellite Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) monthly precipitation products over Mainland China from March 2014 to February 20...

Content distribution networks (CDNs) increasingly have been used to reduce the response times experienced by Internet users through placing surrogates close to the clients. This paper presents an object replacement approach based on an evolutionary game generalized particle model (G-GPM). We first propose a problem model for CDNs. The CDN model is then fit into a gravitational field. The origin...

Business process modeling and design has gained importance in recent years. Consequently, a large number of modeling languages have emerged. Many of them lack formality, whereas some others support the verification of the designed process. Most of existing modeling languages adopt an operational view focusing on how the process is performed. By contrast, others follow the human intention of ach...
