Formation of very low resistance contact for silicon photovoltaic cells
A number of approaches have been developed in order to introduce a nickel-based contact layer between the silver electrode and n+ emitter layer, which can substantially reduce the specific contact resistance.

Why are you more engaged: factors influencing Twitter engagement in Occupy Wall Street
In this paper we explore factors that influence the engagement of Twitter users during the recent Occupy Wall Street movement, where engagement is measured by retweets and hashtag usage related to the movement.

Optical studies on homoepitaxial AlN
We investigated such layers by low-temperature photoluminescence (PL), reflectance, and ellipsometry.

Anterograde Episodic Memory in Korsakoff Syndrome
In this review we highlight the historical studies that examined anterograde episodic memory processes in KS, present a timeline and evidence supporting the myriad theories proffered to account for this memory dysfunction, and summarize what is known about the neuroanatomical correlates and neural systems presumed affected in KS.

A unified approach for audio characterization and its application to speaker recognition
Knowledge of the nuisance characteristics present in the signal can be used to improve performance of the system. In some cases, the nature of these nuisance characteristics is known a priori, but in most practical cases it is not.

Lead Optimization of Antimalarial Propafenone Analogues
Careful examination of the bioavailability, pharmacokinetics, toxicology, and efficacy of this series of compounds using rodent models revealed orally bioavailable compounds that are nontoxic and suppress parasitemia in vivo.

Adaptive and Discriminative Modeling for Improved Mispronunciation Detection
In this work, we extend our approach with the use of model adaptation and discriminative modeling techniques, inspired on methods that have been effective in the area of speaker identification.

The Stereoselective Sulfate Conjugation of 4′-Methoxyfenoterol Stereoisomers by Sulfotransferase Enzymes
The presystemic sulfate conjugation of the stereoisomers of 4′-methoxyfenoterol, (R,R′)-MF, (S,S′)-MF, (R,S′)-MF, and (S,R′)-MF, was investigated using commercially available human intestinal S9 fractions, a mixture of sulfotransferase (SULT) enzymes.
