An Advanced Web Query Interface for Biological Databases
We present a web interface for building precise queries for biological DBs that can construct much more precise queries than most web-based query forms, yet that is user friendly enough to be used by biologists.

Can We Get Better Assessment from a Tutoring System Compared to Traditional Paper Testing? Can We Have Our Cake (Better Assessment) and Eat It Too (Student Learning During the Test)?
We report a study analyzing 40-minutes data of totally students from two school years. The result suggests that for the purpose of assessing student performance, it is more efficient for students to take DA than just having practice items.

Reduction of AlGaAs Heterostructure High-Index-Contrast Ridge Waveguide Scattering Loss By Sidewall Smoothing Through Oxygen-Enhanced Wet Thermal Oxidation
We demonstrate the efficacy of oxidation smoothing of sidewall roughness in high-index-contrast AlGaAs heterostructure ridge waveguides via oxygen-enhanced nonselective wet thermal oxidation for reducing scattering loss.

Distinguishing Methicillin-Resistant and Sensitive Staphylococcus Aureus Using Volatile Headspace Metabolites
This proof-of-concept study used solid-phase microextraction fibers (SPME) to collect headspace vapors from a methicillin sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strain grown in vitro in liquid growth medium.
