Reduced Cerebral and Cardiovascular Hemodynamics During Sustained Affective Stimulation in Young Women with Chronic Low Blood Pressure
We assessed central and peripheral hemodynamic changes in 15 undergraduate women with chronic hypotension and 15 normotensive controls during sustained exposure to pleasant, unpleasant and neutral pictures.

Activation of alpha2-Adrenergic Receptor by (R,R’)-4′-Methoxy-1-Naphthylfenoterol Inhibits Proliferation and Motility of Melanoma Cells
Taken together, these results identified β2-AR as a novel potential target for melanoma management, and (R,R')-MNF as an efficient trigger of anti-tumorigenic cAMP/PKA-dependent signaling in β2-AR-expressing lesions.

Snap-N-Eat: Food Recognition and Nutrition Estimation on a Smartphone
We present snap-n-eat, a mobile food recognition system. The system can recognize food and estimate the calorific and nutrition content of foods automatically without any user intervention.

Anomaly Detection and Diagnosis for Automatic Radio Network Verification
This paper focuses on the verification problem, proposing a novel framework that uses anomaly detection and diagnosis techniques that operate within a specified spatial scope.

Towards community-centered support for peer-to-peer service exchange: rethinking the timebanking metaphor
We conducted a field study of the most prominent of these, timebanking; a system in which 'time dollars' are earned and spent by people providing services for and receiving them…

Simulation, Design, Fabrication, and Testing of a Mems Resettable Circuit Breaker
We describe a novel concept for a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) resettable circuit breaker. The concept involves fabricating the circuit breaker and the reset switch using a single microcantilever.

School health services for children with special health care needs in California
This study attempted to determine how schools meet the direct service health needs of children and who provides those services.

High-resolution, high-frequency wavelength shift detection of optical signals with low-cost, compact readouts
In this paper, its calibration and noise performance is demonstrated for high-resolution (up to 1.45 fm/vHz) acoustic emission (AE) detection of fast (up to 1 MHz) dynamic strain signals.

Unravelling Glucan Recognition Systems by Glycome Microarrays Using the Designer Approach and Mass Spectrometry
We describe construction of a "glucome" microarray, the first sequence-defined glycome-scale microarray, using a "designer" approach from targeted ligand-bearing glucans in conjunction with a novel high-sensitivity mass spectrometric sequencing method.

Neural network joint modeling via context-dependent projection
We propose a context-dependent linear projection approach which considers neighboring words. Experimental results showed that the proposed approach further improves NNJM by 0.5 BLEU for English-Iraqi Arabic translation in N-best…

Discovery of the First Small-Molecule Opioid Pan Antagonist with Nanomolar Affinity at Mu, Delta, Kappa, and Nociceptin Opioid Receptors
Since this is the first ligand containing the trans-(3R,4R)-dimethyl-4-(3-hydroxyphenyl)piperidine opioid antagonist pharmacophore to have affinity for the NOP receptor, we explored the structural determinants of its NOP binding affinity.

Balanced Designs for Deeper Learning in an Online Introductory CS Course for Middle School Students
This paper describes our efforts to use the design-based research methodology to design a 6-week middle school course on the OpenEdX platform for blended in-class learning.
