Fiber Tracking Functionally Distinct Components of the Internal Capsule
To examine the microstructural condition of this fiber system and to test functional correlates of its sectors in health and aging, adults were examined with diffusion tensor imaging fiber tracking and neuropsychological tests.

Tracking and Sketching Distributed Data Provenance
We describe a system for capturing data provenance in distributed applications, and the use of provenance sketches to optimize subsequent data provenance queries.

An Application Framework for Loosely Coupled Networked Cyber-Physical Systems
We describe a new paradigm for programming an NCPS that enables users to specify their needs and nodes to contribute capabilities and resources.

In Vivo MRSI of Hyperpolarized [1-13C]Pyruvate Metabolism in Rat Hepatocellular Carcinoma
We implemented a three-dimensional MRSI sequence to investigate this potential hallmark of cellular metabolism in rat livers bearing HCC (n = 7 buffalo rats).

Neurocircuitry of Emotion and Cognition in Alcoholism: Contributions from White Matter Fiber Tractography
An understanding of the role of cortico-limbic fiber degradation in emotional dysregulation in alcoholism is now emerging.

Captopril Increases the Intensity of Monocyte Infection By Trypanosoma Cruzi and Induces Human T Helper Type 17 Cells
Here we showed that captopril increases the intensity of T. cruzi infection of human monocytes in vitro. The increased parasitism was accompanied by up-regulated expression of ACE in human monocytes.

H2B- and H3-Specific Histone Deacetylases Are Required for DNA Methylation in Neurospora Crassa
We created mutants of each of the four classical N. crassa HDAC genes and tested their effect on histone acetylation levels and DNA methylation.

Diagnostic-Photographic Determination of Drag/Lift/Torque Coefficients of a High Speed Rigid Body in a Water Column
A semi-empirical method is developed in this study to determine the drag/lift and torque coefficients for a fast-moving rigid body in a water column.

Spectral and Temperature Dependence of Two-Photon and Free-Carrier Absorption in InSb
The nonlinear absorption spectrum of InSb was measured using a combination of tunable ∼160 fs, ∼10 ps, and ∼150 ns IR sources along with a cryostat for controlling the sample temperature to vary the band gap energy from 0.17 to 0.23 eV.

Identification of Substorm Onset Location and Preonset Sequence Using Reimei, THEMIS GBO, PFISR, and Geotail
We present state-of-the-art multiple instrument observations of an isolated substorm on October 12, 2007.

California’s Teaching Force 2010: Key Issues and Trends
This report covers four key themes: the contraction of the teacher workforce and other issues affecting the teacher supply pipeline, the weakening of the teacher development system in the context of reductions in funding, ongoing efforts to define and evaluate teacher quality, and the need for a fully developed, robust longitudinal statewide data system.

Computational Databases, Pathway and Cheminformatics Tools for Tuberculosis Drug Discovery
Cheminformatic techniques have been leveraged and are examined in this review. We suggest that these computational approaches should be optimally integrated within a workflow with experimental approaches to accelerate TB drug discovery.
