Biological Effectiveness of Photons and Electrons as a Function of Energy
Because of the enormous complexity of the phenomena involved, it is unlikely that any single area of study can provide a clear understanding of the relative biological effectiveness of different energies.

Introduction of plasmid encoding for rare tRNAs reduces amplification bias in phage display biopanning
Here we present a method that reduces amplification bias by addition of a plasmid that encodes six low abundance tRNAs into K91 Escherichia coli.

Use of CR-39 Detectors to Determine the Branching Ratio in Pd/D Co-deposition
These analyses identified and quantified the energetic particles responsible for the tracks observed in the CR-39 detectors and made it possible to estimate the branching ratios of the primary and secondary reactions.

Why the Cyber Security Industry Should Be Smitten with Smten
Keeping pace with today’s evolving cyber threats is challenged not only by hackers’ sophistication, but also by the mind-boggling volume of attacks.

Desalination Battery
PARCs desalination battery generates excess electrical energy during desalination mode, and rejects the stored salt ions into a salt water solution during recharge mode, pushing the total energy need for desalination below what is required for RO and eliminating the need for high pressure pumps and equipment.

Authentic Student Work Samples Support Formative Assessment in Middle School
Examination of how Assessment Work Sample Method (AWSM) professional development (PD) impacts teacher practice of mathematics formative assessment.

De-Correlating CNN Features for Generative Classification
The proposed approach to solving this problem builds on the idea of training LDA classifiers using only class specific foreground images and a large collection of unlabelled images.

Effects of Tidal Forcing, Conductivity Gradient, and Active Seeding on the Climatology of Equatorial Spread F over Kwajalein
ESF climatology over the Kwajalein Atoll was compared with properties of the postsunset rise (PSSR) of the F layer and seeding activity in the troposphere.

Fast and Ultrafast Kelvin Wave Modulations of the Equatorial Evening F Region Vertical Drift and Spread F Development
In this paper, we investigate the role of eastward and upward propagating fast and ultrafast Kelvin waves in the day-to-day variability of equatorial evening prereversal vertical drift and post sunset generation of spread F/plasma bubble irregularities.

The Effects of Using Dynabook to Prepare Special Education Teachers to Teach Proportional Reasoning
The purpose of this mixed methods study was to understand how special education college faculty used the proportional Dynabook and how it affected the learning of teacher candidates in their courses.

Making Computer Science a First-Class Object in the K-12 Next Generation Science Standards
In the course of our work on building assessments for the Exploring Computer Science course (including drawing from the AP CS Principles framework) we have identified a manageable set of core ideas and mapped them to the NGSS engineering design standards.
