The Feasibility of Assessing Branched-Chain Amino Acid Metabolism in Cellular Models of Prostate Cancer with Hyperpolarized [1-(13)C]-Ketoisocaproate
Our goals were to investigate branched-chain aminotransferase (BCAT) activity in prostate cancer with a novel molecular probe, hyperpolarized [1-(13)C]-2-ketoisocaproate ([1-(13)C]-KIC), and explore the potential of branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism to serve as a biomarker.

Video Object Co-Segmentation by Regulated Maximum Weight Cliques
In this paper, we propose a novel approach for object cosegmentation in arbitrary videos by sampling, tracking and matching object proposals via a Regulated Maximum Weight Clique (RMWC) extraction scheme.

Augmented Reality Binoculars on the Move
We present our latest improvements and additions to our pose estimation pipeline and demonstrate stable registration of objects on the real world scenery while the binoculars are undergoing significant amount of parallax-inducing translation.

Mining Structure Fragments for Smart Bundle Adjustment
In this work we show that, when using conjugate gradient solvers, there is a computational advantage in “grouping” factors corresponding to sets of points (fragments) that are co-visible by the same set of cameras.

Crowdsourcing Program Tests Combined Opinions of Scientists and Technology Enthusiasts to Predict Scientific and Technological Events
Researchers are looking at crowdsourcing to gain a better view into future significant scientific and technological developments, particularly in areas such as information systems and energy where corporations may want to focus development efforts and investments. Crowdsourcing often provides more accurate forecasts by aggregating the collective opinions of an informed, diverse group rather than relying…

Best Practices for Recruiting Schools for Educational Studies
In a recent report, “Recruiting Participants for Large-Scale Random Assignment Experiments in School Settings,” a team of SRI Education researchers share practical advice on how to recruit schools for educational studies. There is an art to successful recruitment, but there are few occasions for experienced researchers to share lessons learned about recruitment with colleagues. The report synthesizes the SRI…

Deep Knowledge and the Rise of Virtual Specialists
Virtual personal assistants like Siri are becoming widespread. They understand user intents expressed in natural language and respond by connecting users with services that hopefully fulfill those intents. But for many consumer needs such as banking, retail, and healthcare, just getting to the service isn’t enough. Consumers have difficulty getting things done in the service, especially when…

Role of Conjugate and Local Terminators for Ionospheric Dynamics at Arecibo
Using some recent Plasma drift data at Arecibo, we present evidences of Electric Field (E) changes induced by sunrise and sunset transitions at both local and conjugate regions.
