Ibuprofen-Induced Patent Ductus Arteriosus Closure: Physiologic, Histologic, and Biochemical Effects on the Premature Lung
The goal was to study the pulmonary, biochemical, and morphologic effects of a persistent patent ductus arteriosus in a preterm baboon model of bronchopulmonary dysplasia.

Limits on the Hardness of Lattice Problems in L(P) Norms
Several recent papers have established limits on the computational difficulty of lattice problems, focusing primarily on the ℓ 2 (Euclidean) norm. We demonstrate close analogues of these results in ℓ p norms, for every 2 < p ≤ ∞. I

Comparison of Tropospheric NO2 from in Situ Aircraft Measurements with Near-Real-Time and Standard Product Data from OMI
We present an analysis of in situ NO2 measurements from aircraft experiments between summer 2004 and spring 2006. The data are from the INTEX-A, PAVE, and INTEX-B campaigns and constitute the most comprehensive set of tropospheric NO2 profiles to date.

Microarray Evaluation of the Listeria Monocytogenes Infection and Amoxicillin Treatment in Mice
By using Affymetrix Mouse Genome Arrays and biological replicates, the predictive value of liver and blood gene expression profiles previously identified was validated as predictive of Listeria monocytogenes infection severity.

Question Asking to Inform Procedure Learning
We propose a framework that augments learning by demonstration through a facility for asking questions of the demonstrator. We define a catalog of questions designed to inform learning by demonstration technologies that covers function and causality, abstraction, alternatives, limitations on learned knowledge, and the process of learning.

A Low-Cost Laser Distance Sensor
We describe a compact, planar laser distance sensor (LDS) that has capabilities comparable to current laser scanners: 3 cm accuracy out to 6 m, 10 Hz acquisition, and 1 degree resolution over a full 360 degree scan.

Formal Specification of Agent-Object Oriented Programs
This paper presents a methodology for the formal specification of agent-object oriented programs. Agent-object oriented programming is a programming paradigm that integrates both agent-oriented programming and object- oriented programming.

Spoken language understanding—interpreting the signs given by a speech signal
Spoken language understanding (SLU) is the interpretation of signs conveyed by a speech signal. SLU and natural language understanding (NLU) share the goal of obtaining a conceptual representation of natural language sentences. Specific to SLU is the fact that signs to be used for interpretation are coded into signals along with other information such as…

Thick Protective UHTC Coatings for SiC-Based Structures: Process Establishment
A new process to form thick and dense ultra-high-temperature ceramic (UHTC) composite coatings over SiC surfaces is described. Coatings of ZrB2/SiC/(ZrC) thicker than 100 μm are formed by a reaction-bonded SiC (RBSC) approach based on Si infiltration into ZrB2/C preform coating.

A Formal Framework for Interactive Agents
This paper proposes a formal framework and architecture for specification and analysis of interactive agents. The framework can be used to explore the design space, study features of different points in the design space, and to develop executable specifications of specific agents and study their interactions
