Using anchor points to define and transfer spatial regions based on context
In this paper, we define such areas as context-dependent spatial regions and present a system able to learn them by combining qualitative spatial representations, semantic labels, and analogy.

PiCoDa: privacy-preserving smart coupon delivery architecture
In this paper, we propose a new privacy-preserving smart coupon delivery system called PiCoDa.

Dual Hypocretin Receptor Antagonism Is More Effective for Sleep Promotion Than Antagonism of Either Receptor Alone
We compared the properties of selective HCRTR1 (SB-408124 and SB-334867) and HCRTR2 (EMPA) antagonists with that of the dual HCRTR1/ R2 antagonist almorexant in the rat.

Socio-linguistic decisions and gender mapping across real and virtual world cultures
This study examines a large corpus of online gaming chat and avatar names to explore gender differences in virtual world (VW) language use.

Pain Sensitivity and Opioid Analgesia: a Pharmacogenomic Twin Study
This study used a twin paradigm to provide a global estimate of the genetic and environmental contributions to inter-individual differences in pain sensitivity and analgesic opioid effects.

Cannabinoid Receptor Activation Correlates with the Proapoptotic Action of the beta(2)-Adrenergic Agonist (R,R ‘)-4-Methoxy-1-Naphthylfenoterol in HepG2 Hepatocarcinoma Cells
We compare the effect of the β2-AR agonists (R,R′)-fenoterol (Fen) and (R,R′)-4-methoxy-1-naphthylfenoterol (MNF) on signaling and cell proliferation in HepG2 hepatocarcinoma cells by using Western blotting and [3H]thymidine incorporation assays.

Genotoxicity of the Cancer Chemopreventive Drug Candidates CP-31398, SHetA2, and Phospho-Ibuprofen
The genotoxic activities of three cancer chemopreventive drug candidates, CP-31398 (a cell permeable styrylquinazoline p53 modulator), SHetA2 (a flexible heteroarotinoid), and phospho-ibuprofen (PI, a derivative of ibuprofen) were tested.

Multiple Target Tracking by Integrating Track Refinement and Data Association
Multiple target tracking that integrates target model estimation and data association steps is described. The integration allows successive refinement of the models while reducing the uncertainty in data association.

Rodent Motor and Neuropsychological Behaviour Measured in Home Cages Using the Integrated Modular Platform SmartCage ™
To facilitate investigation of diverse rodent behaviours in rodents’ home cages, we have developed an integrated modular platform, the SmartCage™ system (AfaSci, Inc. Burlingame, CA, USA), which enables automated neurobehavioural phenotypic…

Highly Conserved CDR3 Region in Circulating CD4(+)V Beta 5(+) T Cells may be Associated with Cytotoxic Activity in Chagas Disease
The aim of this work was to determine whether T cells expressing this particular Vβ region displayed variable or restricted CDR3 sequences, as an indicator of the nature of the…

Quantification of Glutamate and Glutamine Using Constant-Time Point-Resolved Spectroscopy at 3 T
To quantify Glu and Gln, a time-domain basis set was constructed taking into account metabolite T 2 relaxation times and dephasing from B 0 inhomogeneity.
