This document describes a Grid component model (called GCM). It defines the main features to be included in the GCM, as currently assessed in the Programming Model Institute. By defining the GCM, the Institute aims at the precise specification of an effective GCM. Fractal has been chosen by the CoreGrid community as the basis for the definitions of the GCM: The GCM features is roughly defined a...

The Galois/Counter Mode of Operation (GCM), recently standardized by NIST, simultaneously authenticates and encrypts data at speeds not previously possible for both software and hardware implementations. In GCM, data integrity is achieved by chaining Galois field multiplication operations while a symmetric key block cipher such as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), is used to meet goals of...

General circulation models (GCMs), used to predict rainfall at a seasonal lead-time, tend to simulate too many rainfall events of too low intensity relative to individual stations within a GCM grid cell. Even if bias in total rainfall is corrected relative to a target location, this distortion of frequency and intensity is expected to adversely affect simulations of crop growth and yield. We pr...

Differentiated neurons and glia are acquired from immature precursors via transcriptional controls exerted by factors such as proteins in the family of Glial Cells Missing (Gcm). Mammalian Gcm proteins mediate neural stem cell induction, placenta and parathyroid development, whereas Drosophila Gcm proteins act as a key switch to determine neuronal and glial cell fates and regulate hemocyte deve...

The heat kernel measure μt is constructed on GL(H), the group of invertible operators on a complex Hilbert space H. This measure is determined by an infinite dimensional Lie algebra g and a Hermitian inner product on it. The Cameron-Martin subgroup GCM is defined and its properties are discussed. In particular, there is an isometry from the Lμt -closure of holomorphic polynomials into a space H...

This paper presents a novel Generic Communication Model (GCM) for integrated mobile and Internet web services. GCM is an adaptive protocol selection mechanism to ease the balance of transmission performance and communication interoperability in wired networks and wireless mobile networks. With GCM, end users can select a suitable protocol among different protocols for adapting different situati...

According to the paradigm of component-based software engineering a software system can be represented as a set of independent reusable modules which communicate with each other.The OASIS team is working on a Grid Component Model (GCM) which defines how a distributed component-based application should be designed, deployed and developed. This work is focused on the modeling aspect of GCM-based ...

S. C. McKinley and R. M. Nosofsky (1996) compared a linear decision-bound model with the generalized context model (GCM) in their ability to account for categorization data from experiments that used integral- or separable-dimension stimuli and required selective attention or attention to both dimensions. McKinley and Nosofsky (1996) found support for the GCM and concluded that decision-bound t...

Measurement of stress hormone metabolites in fecal samples has become a common method to assess physiological stress in wildlife populations. Glucocorticoid metabolite (GCM) measurements can be collected noninvasively, and studies relating this stress metric to anthropogenic disturbance are increasing. However, environmental characteristics (e.g., temperature) can alter measured GCM concentrati...

This case highlights the importance of considering a wide differential diagnosis in a young patient with chest pain and an abnormal ECG. Rarer causes of myocarditis such as GCM should be sought in patients who develop ventricular arrhythmias or high-grade heart block because the treatment is different and dramatically influences outcome. Our patient is the first reported case of GCM and a concu...
