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.

Why the Cyber Security Industry Should Be Smitten with Smten
Keeping pace with today’s evolving cyber threats is challenged not only by hackers’ sophistication, but also by the mind-boggling volume of attacks.

Desalination Battery
PARCs desalination battery generates excess electrical energy during desalination mode, and rejects the stored salt ions into a salt water solution during recharge mode, pushing the total energy need for desalination below what is required for RO and eliminating the need for high pressure pumps and equipment.

BU08073 a Buprenorphine Analog with Partial Agonist Activity at mu Receptors in vitro but Long-Lasting Opioid Antagonist Activity in vivo in Mice
Structure activity studies were conducted to design buprenorphine analogues with high affinity at each of these receptors and to characterize them in in vitro and in vivo assays.

De-Correlating CNN Features for Generative Classification
The proposed approach to solving this problem builds on the idea of training LDA classifiers using only class specific foreground images and a large collection of unlabelled images.

Evidence for Effective Uses of Dynamic Visualisations in Science Curriculum Materials
We review research to clarify the impacts of dynamic visualisations and to identify instructional scaffolds that mediate their success.

The Effects of Using Dynabook to Prepare Special Education Teachers to Teach Proportional Reasoning
The purpose of this mixed methods study was to understand how special education college faculty used the proportional Dynabook and how it affected the learning of teacher candidates in their courses.

Cytotoxicity of Human Endogenous Retrovirus K-Specific T Cells toward Autologous Ovarian Cancer Cells
Endogenous retroviral gene products in ovarian cancer may represent a potentially valuable new pool of tumor-associated antigens for targeting of therapeutic vaccines to ovarian cancer.

Evidence for Generation of Unstable Suprathermal Electron Population in the Auroral F Region
In this work we used a one-dimensional Zakharov simulation to constrain the range of physical mechanisms underlying these observational features.

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 core ideas and mapped them to the NGSS engineering design standards.
