Lidar-Based Door and Stair Detection from a Mobile Robot
We present an on-the-move LIDAR-based object detection system for autonomous and semi-autonomous unmanned vehicle systems.

The Proof Monad
A formalism for expressing the operational semantics of proof languages used in procedural theorem provers is proposed.

Long Range Audio and Audio-Visual Event Detection Using a Laser Doppler Vibrometer
In this work, in addition to a geo-calibrated electro-optical camera, we propose to use a novel optical sensor for real-time audio sensing, which allows us to capture acoustic signals from a large distance, and to use the same geo-calibration for both the camera and the audio.

The Puf-Family RNA-Binding Protein Pfpuf2 Regulates Sexual Development and Sex Differentiation in the Malaria Parasite Plasmodium Falciparum
In this study we determined the function of PfPuf2, a member of the Puf family of translational repressors, in gametocytogenesis of Plasmodium falciparum.

Automated Assessment of Physical-Motion Tasks for Military Integrative Training
We describe the performance assessment component of the BASE-IT system, a real-time monitoring system of performance of U.S. Marines during training exercises for urban warfare.

Cascaded model adaptation for dialog act segmentation and tagging
In this study, as part of a larger scale multiparty meeting understanding system, we analyze various methods for adapting dialog act segmentation and tagging models trained on conversational telephone speech (CTS) to meeting style conversations.

Dual Tasking and Working Memory in Alcoholism: Relation to Frontocerebellar Circuitry
The brain–behavior correlations suggest that alcoholics and controls relied on the integrity of certain nodes of corticocerebellar systems to perform these verbal and spatial working memory tasks, but that the specific pattern of relationships differed by group.

Historical Insights Into Sleep Research
The article in the present issue by Basner helps to ensure the “virtuous actions” and careful insightful science of Ernst Otto Heinrich Kohlschütter will not be forgotten.

Light-Driven Formation and Rupture of Droplet Bilayers
We demonstrate optical manipulation of nanoliter aqueous droplets containing surfactant or lipid molecules and immersed in an organic liquid using near infrared light.

Vaccination of Rabbits with an Alkylated Toxoid Rapidly Elicits Potent Neutralizing Antibodies Against Botulinum Neurotoxin Serotype B
New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits were immunized with several different nontoxic botulinum neurotoxin serotype B (BoNT/B) preparations in an effort to optimize the production of a rapid and highly potent, effective neutralizing antibody response.

Mouse Urinary Biomarkers Provide Signatures of Maturation, Diet, Stress Level, and Diurnal Rhythm
We compared the volatile compositions of mouse urine using solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (SPME-GC/MS).
