Comparison of SuperDARN Irregularity Drift Measurements and F-Region Ion Velocities from the Resolute Bay ISR
This work is motivated by testing the same assumption on a more optimal experimental setting: using the north face of the Resolute Bay incoherent scatter radar (RISR-N) thereby reducing echo…

Influence of a Dopamine Pathway Additive Genetic Efficacy Score on Smoking Cessation: Results from Two Randomized Clinical Trials of Bupropion
We aimed to evaluate associations of treatment and an ‘additive genetic efficacy score’ (AGES) based on dopamine functional polymorphisms with time to first smoking lapse and point prevalence abstinence at…

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.

Impacts of Professional Development in Classroom Assessment on Teacher and Student Outcomes
The authors describe an impact study of Classroom Assessment for Student Learning (CASL), a widely used professional development program in classroom and formative assessment.

Calibration of Membrane Inlet Mass Spectrometric Measurements of Dissolved Gases: Differences in the Responses of Polymer and Nano-Composite Membranes to Variations in Ionic Strength
This work examines the transmission behavior of aqueous dissolved methane, nitrogen, argon and carbon dioxide through two types of membranes: a polysiloxane nano-composite (PNC) membrane and a conventional polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane.

A Regression Model for Risk Difference Estimation in Population-Based Case-Control Studies Clarifies Gender Differences in Lung Cancer Risk of Smokers and Never Smokers
Additive risk models are necessary for understanding the joint effects of exposures on individual and population disease risk. Yet technical challenges have limited the consideration of additive risk models in…

Development of Powder-in-Bottle Formulation of Hydroxyurea with Methylparaben Preservative
The compatibility of hydroxyurea with excipients in closed cap conditions at 30°C/65%RH and 40°C/75%RH storage for up to 6 weeks was also studied.

Evaluation of the First Year of the Oakland Blended Learning Pilot
With support from RFF, OUSD, and other external assistance providers, the goal of the pilot is to support teachers in Oakland schools as they worked to personalize learning through the…

Vagal Withdrawal During Hot Flashes Occurring in Undisturbed Sleep
Little is known about the impact of hot flashes on cardiac autonomic regulation, in particular vagal control. Thereby, we assessed the cardiac autonomic profile associated with physiological hot flashes occurring…

Sleep-Wake Regulation Is Altered in Mice Lacking Trace Amine-Associated Receptor 1
Here, we tested the hypothesis that endogenous TAAR1 tone contributes to the normal regulation of sleep and wakefulness. Abnormal levels of TAs have long been associated with neuropsychiatric disorders; altered…

α4β2* and α7 Nicotinic Receptors Play a Role in L-Dopa-Induced Dyskinesias; Studies Using Parkinsonian Knockout Mice
Since α4a5β2 nAChRs are also predominantly on striatal dopamine terminals, these data suggest that drugs targeting α4β2 nAChRs may reduce L-dopa-induced dyskinesias in late stage Parkinson’s disease.
