Making Computer Science a First-Class Object in the K-12 Next Generation Science Standards
In the course of our work on building assessments for the Exploring Computer Science course (including drawing from the AP CS Principles framework) we have identified a manageable set of…

Pathway Tools version 19.0 update: Software for Pathway/Genome Informatics and Systems Biology
The software provides genome-informatics tools such as a genome browser, sequence alignments, a genome-variant analyzer and comparative-genomics operations.

The alpha7 Nicotinic Receptor Agonist ABT-107 Protects against Nigrostriatal Damage in Rats with Unilateral 6-Hydroxydopamine Lesions
The objective of this study was twofold: first, to test the protective potential of ABT-107, an agonist with high selectivity for α7 nAChRs; and second, to investigate its cellular mechanism…

High-Latitude Ionospheric Drivers and Their Effects on Wind Patterns in the Thermosphere
In this study, we investigate the ability of the Global Ionosphere-Thermosphere Model (GITM) to simulate the mesoscale wind structure over Alaska during a substorm.

Singlet Molecular Oxygen Formation by O-Atom Recombination on Fused-Quartz Surfaces
Experimental results demonstrate O2(aΔ1g) (υ=0) formation by catalytic O-atom surface recombination in a room-temperature fused-quartz flow-tube reactor.

AR-Weapon: Live Augmented Reality Based First-Person Shooting System
This paper introduces a user-worn Augmented Reality (AR) based first-person weapon shooting system (AR-Weapon), suitable for both training and gaming.

Effects of Tidal Forcing, Conductivity Gradient, and Active Seeding on the Climatology of Equatorial Spread F over Kwajalein
ESF climatology over the Kwajalein Atoll was compared with properties of the postsunset rise (PSSR) of the F layer and seeding activity in the troposphere.

Soft Agents: Exploring Soft Constraints to Model Robust Adaptive Distributed Cyber-Physical Agent Systems
We are interested in principles for designing and building open distributed systems consisting of multiple cyber-physical agents, specifically, where a coherent global view is unattainable and timely consensus is impossible.

Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping by Inversion of a Perturbation Field Model: Correlation with Brain Iron in Normal Aging
We present a method for quantifying susceptibility by inversion of a perturbation model, or “QSIP.” The perturbation model relates phase to susceptibility using a kernel calculated in the spatial domain,…

Re-Ranking by Multi-Feature Fusion with Diffusion for Image Retrieval
We present a re-ranking algorithm for image retrieval by fusing multi-feature information. We utilize pairwise similarity scores between images to exploit the underlying relationships among images.

Variation in the Human Immune System Is Largely Driven by Non-Heritable Influences
To assess the relative contribution of heritable versus non-heritable factors, we have performed a systems-level analysis of 210 healthy twins between 8 and 82 years of age.

Characterization, HPLC Method Development and Impurity Identification for 3,4,3-Li(1,2-HOPO), a Potent Actinide Chelator for Radionuclide Decorporation
Derivatization of the target ligand in situ with Fe(III) chloride provided a single homogeneous iron-complex that can readily be detected and analyzed by HPLC.
