Efficient broadcast in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks with a realistic physical layer
We present an analytical model to show that the transmission radii used for nodes can be used to establish a tradeoff between minimizing energy consumption and ensuring network coverage.

Effects of Plasma Treatments on the Nitrogen Incorporated Nanocrystalline Diamond Films
The nitrogen incorporated nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) films were grown on n-silicon (100) substrates by microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (MPECVD) using CH4/Ar/N2 gas chemistry.

Learning Discriminative Sequence Models from Partially Labelled Data for Activity Recognition
We propose a new approach based on partially-supervised training of discriminative sequence models such as the conditional random field (CRF) and the maximum entropy Markov model (MEMM).

Opioidergic Projections to Sleep-Active Neurons in the Ventrolateral Preoptic Nucleus
We hypothesized that the influence of opiates on sleep may be mediated, at least in part, by the ventrolateral preoptic nucleus (VLPO), a key cell group for producing behavioral sleep.
