Using utility and microutility to manage resources in vehicle ad hoc networks
We describe an approach to propagating streams of information in Vehicle Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) based on sources of information predicting where the information will be useful---information is pushed "based on…

Low cost, membrane-less water purification
PARC has developed a compact, low-cost purification system that reduces maintenance down-time, increases throughput, decreases power consumption, and shrinks real estate requirements.

Nociceptin Attenuates Methamphetamine Abstinence-Induced Withdrawal-Like Behavior in Planarians
In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that abrupt discontinuation of methamphetamine would also cause withdrawal-like behavior in planarians and that the withdrawal-like behavior would be prevented by nociceptin,…

Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid Receptor Genes and Nicotine Dependence: Evidence for Association from a Case-Control Study
We found evidence for association between four SNPs in GABRA4, two SNPs in GABRA2 and one SNP in GABRE with nicotine dependence.

Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Beta 2 Subunit Gene Implicated in a Systems-Based Candidate Gene Study of Smoking Cessation
We performed a systems-based candidate gene study of 1295 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 58 genes within the neuronal nicotinic receptor and dopamine systems to investigate their role in smoking…

Diffusion Tensor Tractography in Mesencephalic Bundles: Relation to Mental Flexibility in Detoxified Alcohol-Dependent Subjects
Components of the corticocerebellar circuit and the midbrain individually play a central role in addictive processes and have been associated with altered volumes and impairment of cognitive flexibility in alcohol-dependent…
