Two-Round Secure Mpc from Indistinguishability Obfuscation
Here, we show how to achieve this result with only two rounds. We obtain UC security with abort against static malicious adversaries, and fairness if there is an honest majority.

Computational Models for Neglected Diseases: Gaps and Opportunities
Here, we identify gaps in which computational approaches have been used for some neglected diseases and not others. We also make recommendations for the broad-spectrum integration of these techniques into a neglected disease drug discovery and development workflow.

(R,R’)-4′-Methoxy-1-Naphthylfenoterol Targets GPR55-Mediated Ligand Internalization and Impairs Cancer Cell Motility
Here, we investigated the role of MNF in GPR55 signaling in human HepG2 and PANC-1 cancer cell lines in culture by focusing first on internalization of the fluorescent ligand Tocrifluor 1117 (T1117).

Magnetic Aspect Sensitivity of High- Latitude E Region Irregularities Measured by the RAX-2 Cubesat
We analyze, in detail, the largest drift case because the plasma turbulence was the most intense and because the corresponding ground-to-space bistatic scattering geometry was the most favorable for magnetic aspect sensitivity analysis.

Vapor Pressure Measurements of Mg(BH4)(2) Using Knudsen Torsion Effusion Thermo Graphic Method
The vapor pressure and molecular weight of effusing vapors of α, β, and amorphous Mg(BH4)2 were determined by Torsion-effusion gravimetric method, under dynamic vacuum. A Cahn balance in the system yielded the rate of the weight loss. Molecular weights measured revealed if the effusion was congruent or there was disproportionation. The vaporization behavior of crystalline Mg(BH4)2, was…

Radiation Drugs – Still a Hot Topic
On the occasion of the second anniversary of the Fukushima disaster, it was reported inScience magazine that evacuees were still waiting to go home, but fortunately that radionuclide exposure, at least to radiocesium ingestion, had been limited [Normile, 2013a, 2013b].

Teaching and Assessing Foundational Data Literacy
Our paper describes two NSF-funded research and development projects, Thinking with Data and Foundational Tools in Data Literacy, which have studied how school cultures, course content, and instructional methods can be adapted to enable the achievement of these goals.

Mechanism of Action of Flufirvitide, a Peptide Inhibitor of Influenza Virus Infection
Influenza is an infectious disease typically transmitted through the air. It is responsible for seasonal epidemics affecting millions of people, and sporadic global pandemics. Influenza infection is a membrane fusion‐dependant process, occurring in the endosome of the host cell after viral binding and endocytosis. The virus‐host membrane fusion process is mediated by hemagglutinin (HA), a viral surface glycoprotein. Studies…
