R-MASTIF: Robotic Mobile Autonomous System for Threat Interrogation and Object Fetch
The SRI-UPenn team fielded a modified Segway RMP 200 robot with multiple cameras and lidars. We implemented a unique computer vision based approach for textureless colored object training and detection…

Evaluation of Reagentless pH Modification for in Situ Ocean Analysis: Determination of Dissolved Inorganic Carbon Using Mass Spectrometry
The reagentless electrolytic technique for pH modification presented here was developed primarily to ease and to extend the longevity of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) determinations in seawater, but can also…

Scanning Gate Microscopy of Localized States in Wide Graphene Constrictions
We use a scanning gate microscope to probe a short, wide graphene constriction and observe a set of ring-shaped resonances in maps of the graphene conductance as a function of…

The Chatanika and Sondrestrom Radars – a Brief History
The Sondrestrom upper atmospheric research facility, located just north of the Arctic Circle near the west coast of Greenland, will soon celebrate 30 yr of operations. This is the story…

Immunoregulatory Profile of Monocytes from Cutaneous Leishmaniasis Patients and Association with Lesion Size
We evaluated peripheral blood CD14+ monocytes for the expression of immunoregulatory cytokines, co-stimulatory molecules and TLR9 from cutaneous leishmaniasis patients infected with L. braziliensis and noninfected individuals.

Discovery of a Splicing Regulator Required for Cell Cycle Progression
Here we describe a new G1 mutant from an ancient family of apicomplexan protozoans. Toxoplasma gondii temperature-sensitive mutant 12-109C6 conditionally arrests in the G1 phase due to a single point mutation in…

The Twin Research Registry at SRI International
Twins in the TRR have participated in studies of complex, clinically relevant phenotypes that would not be feasible to measure in larger samples.

Circadian Rhythm Disorders: Does Sex Matter?
There are sex-related differences in circadian rhythms with women having shorter intrinsic periods and earlier phase of both temperature and melatonin rhythms relative to men.

Pharmacogenetic Smoking Cessation Intervention in a Health Care Setting: A Pilot Feasibility Study
We conducted a multiphased, mixed-methods feasibility study with current smokers to develop and evaluate a patient-centered, theoretically grounded personalized medicine treatment protocol.

Sparse Conditional Mixture Model: Late Fusion with Missing Scores for Multimedia Event Detection
We present the Sparse Conditional Mixture Model (SCMM) which models only the observed detection scores for each example, thereby avoiding making any assumptions about the distributions of the scores that…
