Context Unification with One Context Variable
In this paper we analyze the special case of context unification where the use of at most one context variable is allowed and show that it is in NP.

Managing inquiry-based science: Challenges in enacting complex science instruction in K-8 classrooms
In this article, we describe five interconnected management areas that need to be addressed when managing an inquiry-oriented K-8 science classroom. We introduce a pyramid model as a framework for thinking about these management areas and present a brief review of what the research literature says about each area.

Accurate Characterization of Free Carrier Refraction in InP
Using recently published results of intrinsic and free carrier nonlinear absorption coefficients in InP, nonlinear refraction was investigated at 1.064 μm using ns duration lasers to characterize refraction from generated free carriers.

Discovery of 1-[3-(4-Bromo-2-Methyl-2H-Pyrazol-3-Yl)-4-Methoxyphenyl]-3-(2, 4-Difluorophenyl)Urea (Nelotanserin) and Related 5-Hydroxytryptamine 2A Inverse Agonists for the Treatment of Insomnia
We describe here a series of 5-HT2A inverse-agonists that when dosed in rats, both consolidate the stages of NREM sleep, resulting in fewer awakenings, and increase a physiological measure of sleep intensity.
