β2 Adrenergic Receptor Agonists Inhibit the Proliferation of 1321N1 Astrocytoma Cells
Experiments were conducted to determine whether the β2-AR agonist (R,R′)-fenoterol and other β2-AR agonists could attenuate mitogenesis and, if so, by what mechanism.

The Theft of Business Innovation: an ACM-BCS Roundtable on Threats to Global Competitiveness
Criminals, who have come to understand that many information assets have very real value, have set up mechanisms to steal and resell them, bringing great financial harm to their original…

Bacillus Endospore Resistance to Gas Dynamic Heating
This novel laboratory approach to study the interaction of endospores with shock waves provides an experimental means to investigate the mechanisms of endospore resistance to rapid heating.

Seamless Indoor/Outdoor 6 DOF Tracking of Trainees and Weapons
In this paper we present a system for tracking the trainee’s location, head orientation, and weapon orientation that provides high precision and does not require an instrumented site.

Thermospheric Temperatures Above Poker Flat, Alaska, During the Stratospheric Warming Event of January and February 2009
We report observations of neutral and ion temperatures at approximately 240 km altitude above Poker Flat, Alaska, taken during the stratospheric warming event of January and February 2009.

Sound Generator Structure for Low-Elastic Electroactive Polymer
We propose a sound generator structure that provides a mechanical bias with the EAP without an external device and efficiently uses transformation of the EAP to drive the diaphragm.

Ubiquitin Accumulation in Autophagy-Deficient Mice Is Dependent on the Nrf2-Mediated Stress Response Pathway: a Potential Role for Protein Aggregation in Autophagic Substrate Selection
We show that tissue-specific disruption of the essential autophagy genes Atg5 and Atg7 leads to the accumulation of all detectable Ub–Ub topologies, arguing against the hypothesis that any particular Ub linkage serves as a…

EcoCyc: a Comprehensive Database of Escherichia Coli Biology
Recent improvements to the EcoCyc Web interface include combined gene/protein pages and a Regulation Summary Diagram displaying a graphical overview of all known regulatory inputs to gene expression and protein…

Discovery of the FeO orange bands in the terrestrial night airglow spectrum obtained with OSIRIS on the Odin spacecraft
An unidentified pseudo-continuum in the 600 nm region is observed in the upper mesosphere with the limb-scanning OSIRIS imaging spectrograph on-board the Odin spacecraft.

The Rational Design of a Novel Potent Analogue of the 5′-AMP-Activated Protein Kinase Inhibitor Compound C with Improved Selectivity and Cellular Activity
We have designed and synthesized analogues of compound C, a non-specific inhibitor of 5′-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), using a computational fragment-based drug design (FBDD) approach.

From Handheld Collaborative Tool to Effective Classroom Module: Embedding CSCL in a Broader Design Framework
The field of Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) includes designers who emphasize effectiveness, measured via experiments, as well as designers who emphasize context and conduct qualitative research on teaching and…
