Raising the Quality Bar on Sequenced Genomes with Metabolic Modeling
Sequencing an organism’s genome is an important step in understanding how an organism functions. It elucidates the set of genes present in that organism, but genome annotation—the identification of genes within the DNA sequence and the assignment of functions to those genes—is an inexact science. Some genes receive incorrect functional assignments, functions for many genes…

Advances in Materials Science Move Energy Innovation
While advances in energy efficiency, electric cars and renewable energy make the news, the big story is how advances in materials science make it all possible. New classes of materials, plus innovations in manufacture and use, have already helped cars and planes use less fuel; produced batteries that are smaller, lighter, and run longer; and…

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…
