Contributions of Studies on Alcohol Use Disorders to Understanding Cerebellar Function
This overview proposes that disruption of an executive frontocerebellar network is a major contributor to characteristic behaviors of alcoholism that, on the one hand, enable alcohol use disorders, and on the other hand, lead to compensation for dysfunctions in alcoholism traditionally considered frontally-based.

A comparative large scale study of MLP features for mandarin ASR
In this paper, all the proposed frontends are compared in systematic manner and we extensively investigate the scalability of these features in terms of the amount of training data (from 100 hours to 1600 hours) and system complexity (maximum likelihood training, SAT, lattice level combination, and discriminative training).

Live Transference of Surgical Subspecialty Skills Using Telerobotic Proctoring to Remote General Surgeons
We hypothesized that telementoring by a surgical subspecialist using a robotic platform is feasible and can convey subspecialty knowledge and skill to a remotely located general surgeon.

Gene-Environment Interactions in Parkinson’s Disease and Other Forms of Parkinsonism
The application of emerging genomic technologies, such as Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS), will certainly further our knowledge of Parkinson’s disease (PD)-related genes.

Post-Streptococcal Auto-Antibodies Inhibit Protein Disulfide Isomerase and Are Associated with Insulin Resistance
To explore the post-streptococcal autoimmunity spectrum, we used western blot analyses, to screen healthy subjects with and without markers of recent streptococcal infections.

Novel Inhibitor of Influenza Non-Structural Protein 1 Blocks Multi-Cycle Replication in an RNase L-Dependent Manner
This study demonstrated the biological mechanism for a potent new NS1 antagonist. Compound JJ3297 inhibited virus replication by more than three orders of magnitude without affecting cell viability.

A New Analysis Method for Determining Polar Ionosphere and Upper Atmosphere Characteristics from Esr Data: Illustration with Ipy Period
We present in detail a method to solve these two difficulties: 13-moment, parallel, two-ion energy equations are used to fit the full IS profile along the magnetic field.

White Matter Fiber Degradation Attenuates Hemispheric Asymmetry When Integrating Visuomotor Information
We used diffusion tensor imaging tractography to examine the specific contributions of interhemispheric and intrahemispheric white matter fibers to functional measures of hemispheric transfer and parallel information processing.

Structural and Electrical Properties of Nanocrystalline Diamond Based Barium Strontium Titanate Varactors
The structural and electrical properties of BST varactors fabricated on nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) films as the diffusion barrier layer are reported here.

Measuring Addiction Propensity and Severity: the Need for a New Instrument
This paper argues for a new measurement approach and instrument to quantify propensity to and severity of addiction, based on the testable assumption that these constructs can be mapped onto the same dimension of liability to addiction.

Remote Detection of Trichodesmium Blooms in Optically Complex Coastal Waters: Examples with Modis Full-Spectral Data
By combining MODIS data measured by the ocean bands and land bands, an approach was developed to identify surface mats of Trichodesmium on the WFS.
