Midbrain-Driven Emotion and Reward Processing in Alcoholism
Enhanced midbrain activation to alcohol-related words suggests neuroadaptation of dopaminergic midbrain systems. We speculate that such tuning is normally associated with behavioral conditioning to optimize responses but here contributed to…

A Systematic Screen of FDA-Approved Drugs for Inhibitors of Biological Threat Agents
The feasibility of repurposing existing drugs to face novel threats is demonstrated and this represents the first effort to apply this approach to high containment bacteria and viruses.

The Ability of Plasma Cotinine to Predict Nicotine and Carcinogen Exposure Is Altered by Differences in CYP2A6: The Influence of Genetics, Race, and Sex
Cotinine, a nicotine metabolite, is a biomarker of tobacco, nicotine, and carcinogen exposure. However, a given cotinine level may not represent the same tobacco exposure; for example, African-Americans have higher…

Android Provenance: Diagnosing Device Disorders
We propose operating system auditing and data provenance tracking as mechanisms for generating useful traces of system activity and information flow on mobile devices.

Towards an Evidence Framework for Design-Based Implementation Research
In this chapter, we compare the approach to evidence implicit in the defining features of DBIR to the prevailing evidence standards for educational research promoted by national policy.

Pharmacological Characterization of GPR120 Ligands
The goal of the current study was to understand GPR120 ligand selectivity by testing agonist activity of various fatty acids in cell based assays to measure G-protein activated second messengers,…

WhoAmI: Profiling attendees before meetings
In this paper, we present the Meshin system, an intelligent personal assistant that organizes messages, notifications and appointments for mobile phone users.

Data handling in the smart grid: do we know enough?
We propose here a research agenda to appropriately balance the advantages of fine-grained energy usage data with the associated privacy risks.

Flexible, large-area sensor circuits fabricated by additive printing
Organic materials have been demonstrated as good candidates for large-area flexible sensors, because they allow wide tolerance of sensor geometry and thickness, which would ease fabrication problems such as strain…

Restoration and Recognition of Distant, Blurry Irises
Here we apply a pure digital image restoration approach to correct for optical aberrations. Image restoration was applied to both single images and image sequences. We propose both a single-frame…

The Effectiveness of Online and Blended Learning: A Meta-Analysis of the Empirical Literature
Now that web-based learning has emerged as a major trend in both K–12 and higher education, the relative efficacy of online and face-to-face instruction needs to be revisited.
