Association of CHRNA5-A3-B4 SNP rs2036527 with Smoking Cessation Therapy Response in African-American Smokers
We investigated the association between CHRNA5-A3-B4 and smoking abstinence. The rs2056527(A) allele was associated with lower abstinence with active pharmacotherapy, or with nicotine gum alone but not significantly with bupropion.

Polymer-Based Flexible Visuo-Haptic Display
We report a flexible visuo-haptic display that allows for interactive haptic feedback on the visual display. The visuo-haptic display is fabricated by integrating a dielectric elastomer (DE) based thin film…

Toward a Breathable Biomarker for Physiological Stress
We have developed preliminary laboratory data for formation of volatile aldehydes produced by oxidatation of amino acids found in ELF exposed to HOCl. Formation of HOCl, via oxidation of chloride…

Template-Based Circuit Understanding
We propose a template-based approach that extracts a functional description for a low-level combinational circuit by showing it to be equivalent to a reference implementation, while synthesizing an appropriate mapping…

Synthesis of Doxycycline-[(CD3)-C-13]
In this process, doxcycline was oxidized to the N-oxide using m-CPBA. The hydrochloride salt of the tertiary N-oxide was treated with Fe(0)/FeCl3 catalyst yielding the N-demethylated product.

Accelerated Aging of Selective Brain Structures in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection: A Controlled, Longitudinal Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study
Infected individuals are living long enough that there is a potential for interaction with normal senescence effects on various organ systems, including the brain. To examine this interaction, the brains…
