Orphanin Fq/Nociceptin Activates Nuclear Factor Kappa B
To determine if OFQ/N modulates NFκB activity, SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells were treated with OFQ/N and assessed for changes in nuclear accumulation, DNA binding, and transcriptional activation.

α6β2* and α4β2* Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors as Drug Targets for Parkinson’s Disease
Here we review nAChRs with particular emphasis on the subtypes that contribute to basal ganglia function. Accumulating evidence suggests that drugs targeting α6β2* and α4β2* nAChR may prove useful in…

Lossy Trapdoor Functions and Their Applications
We propose a general cryptographic primitive called lossy trapdoor functions (lossy TDFs), and we use it to develop new approaches for constructing several important cryptographic tools.

Behavior Problems in Learning Activities and Social Interactions in Head Start Classrooms and Early Reading, Mathematics, and Approaches to Learning
A series of multilevel models examined the unique contribution of early problem behavior in structured learning activities, peer interactions, and teacher interactions.

SRILM at sixteen: Update and outlook
We review developments in the SRI Language Modeling Toolkit (SRILM) since 2002, when a previous paper on SRILM was published.

Robust speech recognition using articulatory gestures in a dynamic bayesian network framework
We present a Dynamic Bayesian Network based speech recognition architecture that models the articulatory gestures as hidden variables and uses them for speech recognition.

Verification of Evanescent Coupling from Subwavelength Grating Pairs
Near-field evanescent wave coupling of various subwavelength grating pairs, using a 1.55 μm infrared semiconductor laser has been demonstrated for use as an optical MEMS sensor.

Unsupervised organization of image collections: taxonomies and beyond
We introduce a nonparametric Bayesian model, called TAX, which can organize image collections into a tree-shaped taxonomy without supervision.
-
Private and continual release of statistics
We ask the question: how can Web sites and data aggregators continually release updated statistics, and meanwhile preserve each individual users privacy?

In-well pumping of InGaN/GaN vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting lasers
In-well pumping of blue InGaN/GaN vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting lasers are demonstrated.

Individuals with Disabilities Education Act’s early childhood programs: Powerful vision and pesky details
The authors examine what has been learned from Individuals With Disabilities Education Act’s two early childhood programs about the power and limitations of policy to improve the lives of young…
