Solving inverse configuration space problems by adaptive sampling
We show that solutions to such problems may be efficiently approximated directly in the 6D configuration space SE(3) of relative motions by adaptive sampling.

BiasTrust: teaching biased users about controversial topics
Abstract Deciding whether a claim is true or false often requires understanding the evidence supporting and contradicting the claim. However, when learning about a controversial claim, human biases and viewpoints…

Efficacy of the GluK1/AMPA Receptor Antagonist LY293558 Against Seizures and Neuropathology in a Soman-Exposure Model without Pretreatment and its Pharmacokinetics After Intramuscular Administration
To determine if control of seizures and survival are still possible without pretreatment or immediate pharmacologic intervention, we studied the anticonvulsant efficacy of the GluK1 receptor antagonist.
