A Framework for High-Assurance Quasi-Synchronous Systems
In this paper, we examine the foundations of a quasi-synchronous model of computation Our version of the quasi-synchronous model is inspired by the Robot Operating System (ROS).

A Computational Photography Shootout: Wavefront Coding Vs. Lattice Focal Imaging
We systematically compared the optical performance of two computational photography (CP) approaches used to extend the depth of field of an imaging system: wavefront coding and lattice focal lens imaging.

On the Generation/Decay of the Storm-Enhanced Density Plumes: Role of the Convection Flow and Field-Aligned Ion Flow
We present observations of SED plumes during six storms between 2010 and 2013 and comprehensively analyze the associated ionospheric parameters within the plumes.

Gender Difference in Interactions between MAOA Promoter uVNTR Polymorphism and Negative Familial Stressors on Body Mass Index among Chinese Adolescents
Our goals were to replicate the population effects of this functional polymorphism on obesity risk, and to further explore gender differences and interaction effects with negative stressors.

Air Plasma-Material Interactions at the Oxidized Surface of the PM1000 Nickel-Chromium Superalloy
We present an experimental study on the interactions between PM1000, an oxide dispersion strengthened nickel-chromium superalloy, and air plasma at surface temperatures between 1000 and 1600 K and pressures of 1500,…

Imaging Activity in Integrated Circuits
In this paper, we introduce a method for localizing activity in integrated circuits (IC) using a laser scanning microscope.

Role for the Nicotinic Cholinergic System in Movement Disorders; Therapeutic Implications
This work raised the question whether dysregulation of this system may contribute to motor dysfunction and whether drugs targeting nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) may be of therapeutic benefit in movement…

A Lower Degree of PBMC L1 Methylation in Women with Lower Folate Status May Explain the MTHFR C677T Polymorphism Associated Higher Risk of CIN in the US Post Folic Acid Fortification
It is unknown whether exposure to higher folate as a result of the FA fortification program has altered the association between MTHFR C677T and risk of CIN, or the mechanisms…

Inhibition or Knockdown of ABC Transporters Enhances Susceptibility of Adult and Juvenile Schistosomes to Praziquantel
We show that the activity of PZQ against schistosome adults and juveniles ex vivo is potentiated by co-administration of either the highly potent Pgp inhibitor tariquidar or combinations of inhibitors…

Investigating Why Teachers Reported Continued Use and Sharing of an Educational Innovation After the Research Has Ended
This investigation is part of the Scaling-Up SimCalc experimental program, which combines dynamic representational algebra software with integrated curriculum and small professional development workshops focused on how to use the…
