AT-1001: A High-Affinity alpha3beta4 nAChR Ligand with Novel Nicotine-Suppressive Pharmacology
The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism of action underlying the nicotine-suppressive effects of AT-1001.
-
Detection of Demographics and Identity in Spontaneous Speech and Writing
This chapter focuses on the automatic identification of demographic traits and identity in both speech and writing.
-
Enabling Smart Camera Networks with Smartphone Processors
Distributed smart cameras exploit smartphone processor performance in their node communication and video metadata exchange, allowing the network to collectively reason in interpreting the scene, generating alerts, and making decisions.

Interaction between Reproductive Hormones and Physiological Sleep in Women
This study aimed to assess the interaction between physiological sleep and reproductive hormone measures in perimenopausal women.
-
Reasoning About Interruption of Biological Processes
Our work is motivated by the vision of automated asking and answering of questions related to a biology textbook—a capability which requires application of abstract reasoning patterns.

Channel and Noise Robustness of Articulatory Features in a Deep Neural Net Based Speech Recognition System
This work presents a deep neural network (DNN)—hidden Markov model (HMM) based acoustic model where articulatory features are used in addition to mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) for the Aurora-4 speech recognition task.
-
Conflict-Directed Graph Coverage
In this paper, we open the black box and devise a new algorithm for this problem domain that we call conflict-directed graph coverage.

Dynamic Responses of Selective Brain White Matter Fiber Tracts to Binge Alcohol and Recovery in the Rat
To determine the dynamics of white matter vulnerability to excessive alcohol consumption, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was used in an animal model of alcohol exposure.

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.
