Patient problem-solving on the web: how do patients use web forums
We are studying naturally occurring material (Coulson, Buchanan, & Aubeeluck 07) postings on health fora about several chronic diseases.

Genome-Wide Linkage of Cotinine Pharmacokinetics Suggests Candidate Regionson Chromosomes 9 and 11
We conducted a whole-genome linkage analysis to search for candidate regions influencing quantitative variation in cotinine pharmacokinetics in a large-scale pharmacokinetic study with 61 families containing 224 healthy adult participants.

Observations of Wintertime Arctic Mesosphere Cooling Associated with Stratosphere Baroclinic Zones
We propose that these types of mesosphere cooling events are related to stratospheric baroclinic zones and a Q-vector analysis of stratospheric geopotential and temperature fields can be used to help identify and describe regional occurrences of significant cooling in the mesosphere.

Thermochemistry of the Gaseous Vanadium Chlorides VCl, VCl2, VCl3, and VCl4
Gaseous equilibria in the V−Ag−Cl system were studied at elevated temperatures by effusion-beam mass spectrometry, where the pertinent species were generated by reaction of Cl2(g) with V + Ag granules in the effusion cell source.

Triple-Axis X-Ray Reciprocal Space Mapping of InyGa1−yAs Thermophotovoltaic Diodes Grown on (1 0 0) InP Substrates
Analysis of the composition, strain-relaxation, layer-tilt, and the crystalline quality of InyGa1−yAs/InP1−xAsx thermophotovoltaic (TPV) diodes grown by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) is demonstrated using triple-axis X-ray reciprocal space mapping techniques.

Measuring Family Outcomes Considerations for Large-Scale Data Collection in Early Intervention
This article discusses issues and considerations in documenting family outcomes in the context of large-scale assessments involving many families and and describes the initial development of a survey instrument that could be useful in such efforts.

Efficient Message Passing and Propagation of Simple Temporal Constraints: Results on Semi-Structured Networks
We first show that for an STN, these messages can be represented compactly as sub-STNs. We then present an efficient message passing scheme for computing the minimal constraints of an STN.
