Real-time signal processing applications are commonly designed using a dataaow software architecture. Here we attempt to understand fundamental real-time properties of such an architecture | the Navy's coarse-grain Processing Graph Method (PGM). By applying recent results in real-time scheduling theory to the subset of PGM employed by the ARPA RASSP Synthetic Aperture Radar benchmark applicatio...

How can we describe and categorize government relationships with pro-government militias (PGMs)? Most research tends to focus on sponsorship of PGMs. This entails a cooperative relationship delegation Yet most government-PGM relations are nuanced, complex, often fraught uncertainty even conflict hostility. In this article discuss the conceptualization PGMs vis-à-vis or state, then complexities ...

In this study, we build a new thermal power sector NOx emissions prediction model of tandem gray BP neural network. Firstly we use 1994-2010 years NOx emissions data to establish three gray prediction models: GM (1,1), WPGM (1,1) and pGM (1,1); Secondly, by comparison, we select the best prediction model pGM (1,1) and at the same time take NOx emissions factors as the BP neural network input, 1...

A region of pSG30 that complements the pyocin-derived gonococcal lipooligosaccharide (LOS) mutants 1291d and 1291e was characterized by DNA sequence analysis and an open reading frame of 1,380 bases was identified that is 89% similar and 56% identical over 452 amino acids to the algC gene product from Pseudomonas aeruginosa that encodes phosphomannomutase. Enzymatic analysis of gonococcal crude...

BACKGROUND Treatment for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is often determined by the presence of biomarkers that predict the response to agents targeting specific molecular pathways. Demands for multiplex analysis of the genes involved in the pathogenesis of NSCLC are increasing. METHODS We validated the Ion Torrent Personal Genome Machine (PGM) system using the Ion A...

Inferences acquired by applying clustering analysis of microarrays cannot be reliably assessed before data-originated errors are quantified, an exacting task that is often not performed. Here, we present a novel and fast clustering technique, pair-wise Gaussian merging (PGM), suited for this purpose. Designed for systems with normally distributed error, PGM treats each observation as a Gaussian...

Penetration resistance represents the first level of plant defense against phytopathogenic fungi. Here, we report that the starch-deficient Arabidopsis thaliana phosphoglucomutase (pgm) mutant has impaired penetration resistance against the hemibiotrophic fungus Colletotrichum higginsianum. We could not determine any changes in leaf cutin and epicuticular wax composition or indolic glucosinolat...
