A Graph Traversal Based Algorithm for Obstacle Detection Using Lidar or Stereo
We present a novel computationally efficient approach to obstacle detection that is applicable to both structured and unstructured environments.

Targeting Nicotinic Receptors for Parkinson’s Disease Therapy
Experimental work in parkinsonian animal models suggests that nicotine in tobacco may contribute to this protection. These combined findings suggest that nicotine and nAChR drugs offer the possibility of improved…

Skeleton Search: Category-Specific Object Recognition and Segmentation Using a Skeletal Shape Model
We describe a top-down object detection and segmentation approach that uses a skeleton-based shape model and that works directly on real images.

A Fluoroquinolone-Resistant Acinetobacter Baumannii Without the Quinolone Resistance-Determining Region Mutations
To address the progression of antibiotic resistance in A. baumannii ATCC 17978, we attempted to isolate A. baumannii ATCC 17978 ciprofloxacin-resistant mutants...

Ethanol-Induced Changes in the Expression of Proteins Related to Neurotransmission and Metabolism in Different Regions of the Rat Brain
Despite extensive description of the damaging effects of chronic alcohol exposure on brain structure, mechanistic explanations for the observed changes are just emerging.

Peer Review: Getting Serious About Teacher Support and Evaluation
SRI International and J. Koppich & Associates have completed a study of two exemplary PAR programs in two California school districts.

Providing Coaching and Cotinine Results to Preteens to Reduce Their Secondhand Smoke Exposure: a Randomized Trial
This trial determined whether coaching and cotinine feedback provided to preteens can reduce their SHSe.

Tracking Group Targets Using Hypergraph Matching in Data Association
This paper reformulates the traditional MTT data association problem as an hypergraph matching one between the hypergraphs formed from tracks and observations, and shows that the traditional approach which is…
-
A Single Algorithm Combining Exposure and Focus Fusion
This paper proposes an overhauled method of exposure fusion that solves the exposure and focus problems simultaneously, achieving a well-exposed, all-in-focus result.

Immunoregulatory and Effector Activities in Human Cutaneous and Mucosal Leishmaniasis: Understanding Mechanisms of Pathology
By studying the immune response from CL and ML patients in both the peripheral blood and in situ, we have learned much concerning the dynamics of the host–pathogen interaction that…

The Biason the Joule Heating Estimate: Small-Scale Variability Versus Resolved-Scale Model Uncertainty and the Correlation of Electric Field and Conductance
In this work we separately analyze the small-scale variability and the resolved-scale model uncertainty using the Sondrestrom radar database, and we find that each gives a significant contribution to the…
