WordRev: Finding Word-Level Structures in a Sea of Bit-Level Gates
In this paper, we present a systemic way of automatically deriving word-level structures from the gate-level netlist of a digital circuit. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on a…

Importance of the Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor System in the Prefrontal Cortex
In this work we review, in light of the latest findings, how nicotinic agonists may be acting in the PFC to influence cognitive function.

Recognizing Activities Via Bag of Words for Attribute Dynamics
In this work, we propose a novel video representation for activity recognition that models video dynamics with attributes of activities. A video sequence is decomposed into short-term segments, which are…

Beta-Carotene Biosynthesis in Probiotic Bacteria
To increase vitamin A coverage in malnourished children, we propose to engineer a probiotic bacterium that will produce β-carotene in the intestine, which will be metabolized to vitamin A.

Localization of Auroral Langmuir Turbulence in Thin Layers
The recently discovered coherent echoes in the Poker Flat Incoherent Scatter Radar data with flat ion-line spectrum and simultaneous double-peaked plasma-line spectrum in the lower ionospheric F region are investigated in greater…

Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) and PTH-Related Peptide Domains Contributing to Activation of Different PTH Receptor-Mediated Signaling Pathways
In the present investigation, a collection of PTH(1-34) and PTHrP(1-34) peptide analogs were evaluated in orthogonal human PTH1R (hPTH1R) functional assays capturing Gs- and Gq-signaling, β-arrestin recruitment, ERK1/2 phosphorylation, and receptor…

Investigating Hydrophobic Ligand-Receptor Interactions in Parathyroid Hormone Receptor Using Peptide Probes
On the basis of a peptide reported in the literature, referred to here as the Parent Peptide, we conducted systematic SAR analyses to investigate the effects of altering peptide hydrophobicity…
