Microfluidic platform for point-of-need analyte diagnostics based on spatial modulation detection
To help sharpen the focus on alternative approaches, this presentation will describe an optical detection technique that delivers high effective sensitivity (i.e., high S/N) without complex optics or bulky, expensive light sources to enable an optofluidic system that can fully meet SwaP-C.

Using Knowledge about How People Learn to Define Learning Goals
How well are college general education classes preparing students to apply big ideas to real-world problems? What are the major steps of domain-specific assessment design? Presented at Innovations 2010.

A comparison of approaches for modeling prosodic features in speaker recognition
In this work, we study the two modeling techniques for the simpler set of features. We show that, for these features, a combination of JFA systems for different sequence lengths greatly outperforms both original modeling methods.

Effect of Various Coal Gas Contaminants on the Performance of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells: Part III. Synergistic Effects
The present work presents the results of a study of the synergistic effects of four contaminants of major concern—S, As, P, and Cl, at the ppm level and in combinations of two, three, or four kinds—on the performance of Ni-YSZ/YSZ/LSM solid oxide fuel cells.

A Partially Linear Tree-Based Regression Model for Multivariate Outcomes
We propose a multilocus association test for the study of multivariate traits. The test is derived from a partially linear tree-based regression model for multiple outcomes.

Nicotinic Receptor-Mediated Reduction in L-DOPA-Induced Dyskinesias May Occur Via Desensitization
The present experiments were performed to understand the mechanisms whereby nicotine reduces l-DOPA-induced AIMs. We used a well established model of dyskinesias, l-DOPA-treated unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine-lesioned rats.

An Analysis of Student Practices in Asynchronous Computer Conferencing Courses
The current study examined the online habits and “survival strategies” of 57 students enrolled in graduate-level distance education courses.

Across-phone variability and diagonal term in joint factor analysis for speaker recognition
We investigate usefulness of across-phone variability for speaker recognition in a joint factor analysis (JFA) framework. We estimate the variability as across-phone covariance within a conversation side averaged over all conversations.

Quantitative Fiber Tracking of Lateral and Interhemispheric White Matter Systems in Normal Aging: Relations to Timed Performance
Using our quantitative fiber tracking approach, we assessed fiber tract integrity of samples of major white matter cortical, subcortical, interhemispheric, and cerebellar systems (11 bilateral and 2 callosal) on DTI data collected at 1.5 T magnet strength.

On Seeding Equatorial Spread F During Solstices
Seasonal migration and latitudinal alignment of the inter-tropical convergence zone with the magnetic dip equator is suggested as the missing source, and shown able to fill that void.
