GEMS: A Fault Tolerant Grid Job Management System
The Grid environments are inherently unstable. Resources join and leave the environment without any prior notification. Application fault detection, checkpointing and restart is of foremost importance in the Grid environments. The need for fault tolerance is especially acute for large parallel …

Model-guided Analysis of Plant Metabolism and Design of Metabolic Engineering Strategies
… performed using genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs) that are a collection of biochemical reactions, derived from a genome's annotation. This type of flux modeling enables prediction of net metabolite conversion rates (metabolic fluxes) to help understand metabolic activities under specific …

Analysis of Starch Branching Enzyme 1 (SBE1) Gene in Maize
… low and high amylose parental lines, H99ae and GEMS-0067 respectively, were homozygous recessive for <em>amylose extender 1 (ae1)</em> and the polymorphism responsible for this QTL was additive (semi-dominant). Located within the QTL interval is <em>starch branching enzyme 1 (sbe1)</em>, which …

Simulating the Impacts of Land-Use Land-Cover Changes on Cropland Carbon Fluxes in the Midwest of the United States
… General Ensemble Biogeochemical Modeling System (GEMS) to study LULC change impacts on cropland carbon fluxes in the Midwest USA. First we evaluated the impacts of LULC change on cropland net primary production (NPP) estimates. We found out the high spatial variability of cropland NPP across the …

Gas electron multipliers and a scanner for automated quality control
… ability to withstand harsh radiation conditions, GEMs have been selected for use in the time projection chambers of the latest high-energy experiments, including COMPASS, STAR, and the planned ILC. Foil quality has been found to be critical for optimal GEM performance. If an irregularity in just …

Rare Earth: Gemstones, Geohistory, and Commercial Geography c. 1600-1750
… that European scholars were able to investigate gemstones in the places they formed. Over the course of the seventeenth century, Dutch and English East India Company networks created new opportunities for jewelers, goldsmiths, and gem merchants to survey, map, sample, and compare mineral deposits …

Environment risk assessment for toxic chemicals and genetically-engineered microorganisms: a microcosm approach
… genetically-engineered microorganisms (GEMs) and toxic chemicals. Approaches used to evaluate the potential environmental impact of these two stressors are fundamentally different, and arise mainly from the fact that the GEMs are living and capable of replication. Risk assessment for …

Employment of Multi-Source Satellite-Based Observations in Air Quality Modeling over Asia
… Environment Monitoring Spectrometer’s (GEMS) tropospheric NO2 columns as top-down constraints to refine Asia’s NOx emissions inventory. Informed by 8 to 10 snapshots a day during the 2022 spring, I performed Bayesian inversion to hourly constrain the NOx emissions. This enabled the model …
