Cortical Processing of Respiratory Afferent Stimuli During Sleep in Children with the Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Cortical processing of respiratory afferent information can be tested by measuring respiratory-related evoked potentials (RREPs). We hypothesized that children with OSAS have blunted RREP responses compared to normal children during sleep.

Dynamic Intention Structures I: a Theory of Intention Representation
The paper builds on ideas from dynamic logic to present a solution to the representation and evolution of agent intentions involving reference to incompletely specified and, possibly, mutually dependent intentions, as well as the objects referenced within those intentions.

Predictors of 12-Month Outcome in Smokers Who Received Bupropion Sustained-Release for Smoking Cessation
These results indicate the presence of a substantial amount of variation in outcome following treatment with both dosages of bupropion SR, with substantial cost consequences.

Learning How to Combine Sensory-Motor Functions Into a Robust Behavior
This article describes a system, called Robel, for defining a robot controller that learns from experience very robust ways of performing a high-level task such as “navigate to”.

Field Desorption Ion Source Development for Neutron Generators
A new approach to deuterium ion sources for deuterium-tritium neutron generators is being developed. The source is based upon the field desorption of deuterium from the surfaces of metal tips.

Nonparametric feature normalization for SVM-based speaker verification
We investigate several feature normalization and scaling approaches for use in speaker verification based on support vector machines.

Exploiting dialogue act tagging and prosodic information for action item identification
In this paper we investigate the use of dialogue act tagging to improve the identification of action item descriptions and prosodic information to improve action item agreements.

Fast Parallel Spiral Chemical Shift Imaging at 3T Using Iterative Sense Reconstruction
Spiral chemical shift imaging (CSI) is a fast CSI technique that speeds up the data acquisition in comparison to conventional phase-encoded CSI by sampling the data while oscillating gradients are applied in two spatial dimensions.

Effect of Chitosans and Other Excipientson the Permeation of Ketotifen, FITC-Dextran, and Rhodamine 123 Through Caco-2 Cells
Ketotifen, FITC-labeled dextran, and Rhodamine 123 permeation was evaluated across Caco-2 cells grown on permeable inserts in the presence of chitosan, N,O-carboxymethyl chitosan (NOCC), Carbopol 934P, Polysorbate 80, and Disodium edetate.

On the Sheet-Like Nature of 150 Km (F1) Radar Echoes
This finding is used to infer that plasma density (N) must be enhanced within the sheet-like region, and that FAI could be generated by an interchange instability, driven by a vertical electric field or a zonal neutral wind that acts on the horizontal component of the gradient in N. How tilted sheet-like structures could form in…

Extracting Question/Answer Pairs in Multi-party Meetings
In this paper we introduce a new task for multi-party meetings: extracting question/answer pairs. We propose a method based on discriminative classification of individual sentences as questions and answers via lexical, speaker, and dialog act tag information, followed by a contextual optimization via Markov models.
