Topic: QPM


In the News (Fri 17 Feb 12)

  
  QPM - Quality Protein Maize.
Grits processed from the QPM will be used to feed a selected target group of women and children in the south of Haiti.
ORE is planning to produce the first stock of QPM seeds in early 2005 at its processing facilities in Camp Perrin.
Initial stocks of QPM Seeds will be limited, but if we are able to obtain continued support for this program it will be possible to produce large quantities of seeds for general release by early 2006.

  PROTEIN SOURCES FOR THE ANIMAL FEED INDUSTRY
QPM populations that have superior lysine content and yield and agronomic characteristics similar to those of normal corn are now available (Ortega et al., 1986).
The approximate composition of QPM was similar to that of NM, although QPM tended to have higher levels of crude protein, ether extract and crude fibre (data not shown).
QPM is superior to NM in its amino acids balance and nutrient composition, and could improve the performance of various animals.

 [No title]
QPM breeding activities have been involved in the National Coordinated Maize Breeding Program since 1983 to coordinate the QPM breeding research at the national level.
QPM is more important for the development of livestock husbandry in China since the limitation of quality protein resources in feed industry and almost 50% of the animal products are provided by small family sized farms.
This is a very difficult research activity for breeders involved in QPM breeding practice, not only have to face to all the challenges the normal maize breeders met, but also have to consider the lysine and tryptophane levels in endosperm protein.

 human nutrition
Varieties derived from QPM are now grown on more than a million hectares in more than a dozen developing countries; but dozens more are expected to follow suit in the next few years and the total sown area could rise to 3.5 m ha by 2003.
Rather, the QPM qualities are being combined with those of traditional varieties that are adapted to local conditions, and are resistant to local pests and diseases.
With QPM they were able not only to feed themselves but also to keep a sow or two, raising the nutritional plane yet again, and improving the gastronomy.

 2000 World Food Prize Laureates Dr. Surinder Vasal and Dr. Evangelina Villegas
By the mid-1980s, they had produced a QPM germplasm with hard kernel characteristics and good taste similar to the traditional grain and with much higher quality levels of lysine and tryptophan.
Babies and adults consuming QPM are healthier and at lower risk for malnutrition disorders such as marasmus and kwashiorkor, and data from Latin America and Africa show the grain’s role in reversing the effects of malnutrition in those already affected.
Meanwhile, QPM research and development have spread from Mexico to throughout Latin America and to Africa, Europe, and Asia.

 Cisco QoS Exam Certification Guide: MQC, QPM, and AutoQoS > QoS Policy Manager (QPM)   (Site not responding. Last check: )
To configure a common QoS policy and push this policy to the network devices, QPM needs to be able to learn which devices are present in the network and communicate with those devices.
Cisco requires that QPM be installed on a machine that also has CiscoWorks Common Services 2.2, with Service Pack 2, which allows QPM to automatically discover the network devices; however, you can statically define devices to QPM as well.
QPM, of course, knows about this MIB, so it is ready to show graphs of packet statistics comparing the pre- and post-policy map.

 GWU Lasertechnik Vertriebsges.mbH - periodically poled QPM crystals(chips)and waveguides
The periodically poled of bulk non-linear materials are suitable for diverse applications such as optical frequency converter to generate the full spectrum of light source from visible to mid-IR, as high speed switching device for light modulation and as other innovative applications that are yet to be contemplated.
As differ to the birefringent phase matching, the QPM technique utilizes the whole transparency range (0.35 um ~ 5.0 um in case of lithium niobate) of the non-linear materials and their highest non-linear coefficient for efficient optical frequency conversion in OPO, SHG, SFG, DFG and OPG laser applications.
Also, the nonlinear mixing efficiency is quadratic ally proportional to the interaction length of the waveguide device, thus the fabrication of long, uniform and low loss waveguide is essential for high efficiency optical frequency mixer.
