Tracking Multiple Occluding People By Localizing on Multiple Scene Planes
Occlusion and lack of visibility in crowded and cluttered scenes make it difficult to track individual people correctly and consistently, particularly in a single view. We present a multi-view approach to solving this problem.

Chronic in Utero Cyclooxygenase Inhibition Alters PGE2-Regulated Ductus Arteriosus Contractile Pathways and Prevents Postnatal Closure
We used fetal mice and sheep to determine whether PGE2 has a role in the development of ductus contractility that is distinct from its function as a vasodilator.

Case Studies of Aerosol Remote Sensing in the Vicinity of Clouds
In this paper, we describe aerosol observations collected near cloud edges by an airborne Sun photometer over dark ocean waters.

Femtosecond Laser Photoionization Time-Of-Flight Mass Spectrometry of Nitro-Aromatic Explosives and Explosives Related Compounds
The ultrafast laser-induced photoionization and photodissociation processes of the nitroaromatic containing explosive and explosive related compounds have been investigated at three laser wavelengths and power densities using a time-of-flight mass spectrometer.

Selective Loss of Gabab Receptors in Orexin-Producing Neurons Results in Disrupted Sleep/Wakefulness Architecture
Here we analyze the in vivo and in vitro phenotype of mice lacking the GABAB1 gene specifically in orexin neurons (oxGKO mice) and demonstrate that GABAB receptors on orexin neurons are essential in stabilizing and consolidating sleep/wake states.

What Works, What We Think Works, and How It Can Work for You
This session will first provide an overview of our understanding of the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) standards of evidence for determining the rigor and quality of research studies, and we will show examples of designs that we believe meet and do not meet the WWC evidence standards.

Expression of Neuronal Calcium Sensor-1 (NCS-1) is Decreased in Leukocytes of Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder Patients
We sought to investigate the NCS-1 expression in lymphocytes and monocytes (CD4+ T lymphocytes, CD56+ NK cells, CD19+ B lymphocytes and CD14+ monocytes) of SCZ and BPD patients.

Integrated Analysis of Breast Cancer Cell Lines Reveals Unique Signaling Pathways
We mapped genomic, transcriptional and proteomic profiles for 30 breast cancer cell lines onto a curated Pathway Logic symbolic systems model of EgfR-MAPK signaling.

Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone Increases Behavioral Arousal Through Modulation of Hypocretin/Orexin Neurons
In vitro electrophysiological studies showed that bath application of TRH caused concentration-dependent membrane depolarization, decreased input resistance, and increased firing rate of identified Hcrt neurons.

Combinatorial Chemistry: Oh What a Decade or Two Can Do
This short commentary takes a stroll through the early days of the field of combinatorial chemistry and molecular diversity. It offers a high-level perspective on the field’s beginnings–and its future–as it relates to journals, books, pioneers, and advances.

The Padi System As A Complex Of Epistemic Forms And Games
This analysis illuminates what new understanding about assessment design is generated in the PADI process, thus illustrating the relative value of the PADI process to individual designers and to the field as a whole.

Bead-Based Mosaicing of Single Plane Illumination Microscopy Images Using Geometric Local Descriptor Matching
Existing intensity-based registration techniques still struggle to robustly and accurately align images that are characterized by limited overlap and/or heavy blurring. To be able to register such images, we add sub-resolution fluorescent beads to the rigid agarose medium in which the imaged specimen is embedded.
