Plasmodium vivax trophozoite-stage proteomes
Data from two of three biological replicate proteomes, emphasized here, were analyzed using five search engines, which enhanced identifications and resulted in the most comprehensive P. vivax proteomes to date.

Introduction of plasmid encoding for rare tRNAs reduces amplification bias in phage display biopanning
Here we present a method that reduces amplification bias by addition of a plasmid that encodes six low abundance tRNAs into K91 Escherichia coli.

Learning grounded finite-state representations from unstructured demonstrations
We present a series of algorithms that draw from recent advances in Bayesian nonparametric statistics and control theory to automatically detect and leverage repeated structure at multiple levels of abstraction in demonstration data.

The Effect of the Earth’s and Stray Magnetic Fields on Mobile Mass Spectrometer Systems
Development of small, field-portable mass spectrometers has enabled a rapid growth of in-field measurements on mobile platforms. In such in-field measurements, unexpected signal variability has been observed by the authors in portable ion traps with internal electron ionization. The orientation of magnetic fields (such as the Earth’s) relative to the ionization electron beam trajectory can…

Depth Extraction from Videos Using Geometric Context and Occlusion Boundaries
We propose to learn and infer depth in videos from appearance, motion, occlusion boundaries, and geometric context of the scene.

Methods of Association and Dissociation for Establishing Selective Brain-Behavior Relations
Methods for identifying and understanding brain structure–function relations have evolved over the past century, from astute observations of selective impairments associated with focal brain damage to dissociations measured by combining quantitative neuropsychologic assessment and brain imaging. Enhanced spatial and temporal resolution in brain imaging modalities has led to refined visualization and quantification of the brain’s…

The Acute Effects of Alcohol on Sleep Electroencephalogram Power Spectra in Late Adolescence
Background Alcohol’s effect on sleep electroencephalogram (EEG) power spectra during late adolescence is of interest given that this age group shows both dramatic increases in alcohol consumption and major sleep-related developmental changes in quantitative EEG measures. This study examined the effect of alcohol on sleep EEG power spectra in 18- to 21-year-old college students. Methods…

Condensed Matter Nuclear Reaction Products Observed in Pd/D Co-deposition Experiments
Pd/D co-deposition has been used by a number of researchers to explore the condensed matter nuclear reactions occurring within the palladium lattice by generating highly loaded layers of lattice over the cathode.

Homeostatic Sleep Pressure Is the Primary Factor for Activation of Cortical nNOS/NK1 Neurons
Cortical interneurons, immunoreactive for neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) and the receptor NK1, express the functional activity marker Fos selectively during sleep. NREM sleep ‘pressure’ is hypothesized to accumulate…
