Enhanced Alpha-Synuclein Expression in Human Neurodegenerative Diseases: Pathogenetic and Therapeutic Implications
Here we discuss the possibility that other mechanisms of alpha-synuclein elevation contribute to the pathogenesis of idiopathic, sporadic Parkinson’s disease and other human synucleinopathies.

Gradient-Type Minimization Methods for Initializing State Variables in GPS/Ins Integration
This paper describes an alternative to linear filtering methods for processing a combination of IMU data and GPS data when there is only a limited time to estimate state variables.

Subject-Matched Templates for Spatial Normalization
Here, we introduce the concept of subject-matched templates. Rather than using a single template for the entire population, a different template is used for every subject, with the template matched to the subject in terms of age, sex, and potentially other parameters (e.g., disease).

Using Cognitive Interviews And Student Response Processes To Validate An Interpretive Argument For The Ets Iskills Assessment
Evaluating the trustworthiness of Internet-based or other digital information has become an essential 21st century skill. The iSkills™ assessment, from Educational Testing Service (ETS), purports to measure such digital evaluation skills, along with other digital literacy skills. In this work, we use an argument-based approach to assessment validation to investigate the extent to which iSkills…

CESAR (Compact Echelle Spectrograph for Aeronomical Research) Opto-Mechanical Design
Our goal is to significantly expand the range of upper atmospheric science investigations (nightglow, aurora, and dayglow emissions) by providing to aeronomers a high-throughput, high-dispersion, large-passband spectrograph.
