Measuring Flow Complexity in Videos
In this paper a notion of flow complexity that measures the amount of interaction among objects is introduced and an approach to compute it directly from a video sequence is…

A Role for Cortical nNOS/NK1 Neurons in Coupling Homeostatic Sleep Drive to EEG Slow Wave Activity
These findings support the hypothesis that cortical nNOS/NK1 neurons translate homeostatic sleep drive into up-regulation of NREM δ power through an NO-dependent mechanism.

Rapid Identification of Sequences for Orphan Enzymes to Power Accurate Protein Annotation
In this study, we demonstrate how this orphan enzyme “back catalog” is a fertile source for rapidly advancing the state of protein annotation.
-
Comparison of Ionospheric Drift and Magnetic Deflections on the Ground
We conclude that a sunward magnetic contribution on the order of 50 nT caused by magnetospheric currents is needed to explain the offset.
-
Dynamic Pooling for Complex Event Recognition
Complex events are defined as events composed of several characteristic behaviors, whose temporal configuration can change from sequence to sequence.
-
Ion-Neutral Coupling in Earth’s Thermosphere, Estimated from Concurrent Radar and Optical Observations above Alaska
We report on data collected during the campaign, and use these data to investigate two key aspects of ion–neutral coupling, namely Joule heating and the ion–neutral collision frequency.

Textile Damage in Astronaut Gloves
This article describes the damage observations and results of the laboratory tests, deduces how the damage occurred, and presents guidelines for designing gloves that are more damage resistant.

Distinct Loci in the CHRNA5/CHRNA3/CHRNB4 Gene Cluster Are Associated with Onset of Regular Smoking
This meta-analysis examines early smoking phenotypes and SNPs in the gene cluster to determine: (1) whether the most robust association signal in this region (rs16969968) for other smoking behaviors is…

Long-Term Nicotine Treatment Down-Regulates Alpha 6 Beta 2* Nicotinic Receptor Expression and Function in Nucleus Accumbens
We therefore treated rats for 2–3 months with nicotine and examined alterations in nAChR subtype expression and electrically evoked dopamine release in rat nucleus accumbens shell, a region key in addiction.

A Distributed Logic for Networked Cyber-Physical Systems
We describe a distributed logical framework designed to serve as a declarative semantic foundation for Networked Cyber-Physical Systems.

A comparison study of user behavior on Facebook and Gmail
In this paper, we collected objective, privacy-preserved behavior data from participants that were both active Facebook and Gmail users.

Online reconfigurable machines
We propose an approach to achieving online reconfigurability based on a high level of system modularity supported by integrated, model-based planning and control software.
