CD4(+) T Cells Defined By Their V Beta T Cell Receptor Expression Are Associated with Immunoregulatory Profiles and Lesion Size in Human Leishmaniasis
In order to measure the host T cell response to Leishmania infection, we have measured the expansion, activation state and functional potential of specific T cells as identified by their T cell…

The AMPK Stress Response Pathway Mediates Anoikis Resistance Through Inhibition of mTOR and Suppression of Protein Synthesis
Here we show that, after detachment, mouse embryonic fibroblasts transformed by K-Ras or ETV6-NTRK3 activate a transcriptional response overrepresented by genes related to bioenergetic stress and the AMP-activated protein kinase…

Clinical Aspects of Chagas Disease and Implications for Novel Therapies
The interaction between the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi and the human host dates back 9,000 years, as demonstrated by molecular analysis of material obtained from Andean mummies indicating the presence of the…

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...

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.

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.

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…
