Uncertain luck and counterfactual stupidity
I argue that predicates of relative stupidity do have at-issue entailments, contra Barker 2002, based on evidence from their interaction with epistemic modals and with counterfactuals.

Heuristic search for target-value path problem
In this paper, we introduce a new class of search problems in which the objective is to find a path whose total cost is as close as possible to a…

Combining breadth-first and depth-first strategies in searching for optimal treewidth
This paper describes a new way to integrate the two strategies in a single search algorithm that combines the complementary strengths of both strategies to achieve significant speedups over either…

Delegating capabilities in predicate encryption systems
We formally define delegation in predicate encryption systems and propose a new security definition for delegation.

Capacity-delay tradeoff for information dissemination modalities in wireless networks
This paper presents the first comprehensive capacity-delay tradeoff study for random wireless ad hoc networks under all information dissemination modalities when nodes operate either with multi-packet reception (MPR) or single-packet…

Paper-centric structuring in learning processes
This paper introduces two new concepts for augmented semantic structuring of paper-based learning processes.

Early Indicators of Exposure to Biological Threat Agents Using Host Gene Profiles in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells
To detect exposures to the various pathogens more rapidly, especially during these early stages, we evaluated a suite of host responses to biological threat agents using global gene expression profiling…

Sleep Deprivation Effects on Circadian Clock Gene Expression in the Cerebral Cortex Parallel Electroencephalographic Differences Among Mouse Strains
Sleep deprivation (SD) results in increased electroencephalographic (EEG) delta power during subsequent non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREMS) and is associated with changes in the expression of circadian clock-related genes in…

Cortical Processing of Respiratory Occlusion Stimuli in Children with Central Hypoventilation Syndrome
Cortical integration of afferent mechanical stimuli caused by respiratory loading or upper airway occlusion can be tested by measuring respiratory-related evoked potentials (RREPs). We hypothesized that patients with CHS would…

Telephone-Based Tobacco-Cessation Treatment Re-Enrollment Among Diverse Groups
This study aimed to determine the rates of quitline re-enrollment and to compare the responses of people of varying racial/ethnic identities to invitations utilizing different communication strategies.

Annotation-Based Inference of Transporter Function
We present a method for inferring and constructing transport reactions for transporter proteins based primarily on the analysis of the names of individual proteins in the genome annotation of an…

Hypocretin/Orexin and Nociceptin/Orphanin Fq Coordinately Regulate Analgesia in a Mouse Model of Stress-Induced Analgesia
Stress-induced analgesia (SIA) is a key component of the defensive behavioral “fight-or-flight” response. Although the neural substrates of SIA are incompletely understood, previous studies have implicated the hypocretin/orexin (Hcrt) and…
