Comparison of Ionospheric Drift and Magnetic Deflections on the Ground
We conclude that a sunward magnetic contribution on the order of 50 nT caused by magnetospheric currents is needed to explain the offset.

Dynamic Pooling for Complex Event Recognition
Complex events are defined as events composed of several characteristic behaviors, whose temporal configuration can change from sequence to sequence.

Textile Damage in Astronaut Gloves
This article describes the damage observations and results of the laboratory tests, deduces how the damage occurred, and presents guidelines for designing gloves that are more damage resistant.

Distinct Loci in the CHRNA5/CHRNA3/CHRNB4 Gene Cluster Are Associated with Onset of Regular Smoking
This meta-analysis examines early smoking phenotypes and SNPs in the gene cluster to determine: (1) whether the most robust association signal in this region (rs16969968) for other smoking behaviors is also associated with early behaviors, and/or (2) if additional statistically independent signals are important in early smoking.

Long-Term Nicotine Treatment Down-Regulates Alpha 6 Beta 2* Nicotinic Receptor Expression and Function in Nucleus Accumbens
We therefore treated rats for 2–3 months with nicotine and examined alterations in nAChR subtype expression and electrically evoked dopamine release in rat nucleus accumbens shell, a region key in addiction.

A Distributed Logic for Networked Cyber-Physical Systems
We describe a distributed logical framework designed to serve as a declarative semantic foundation for Networked Cyber-Physical Systems.

Influence of a Dopamine Pathway Additive Genetic Efficacy Score on Smoking Cessation: Results from Two Randomized Clinical Trials of Bupropion
We aimed to evaluate associations of treatment and an ‘additive genetic efficacy score’ (AGES) based on dopamine functional polymorphisms with time to first smoking lapse and point prevalence abstinence at end of treatment among participants enrolled in two randomized clinical trials of smoking cessation therapies.

Comparison of SuperDARN Irregularity Drift Measurements and F-Region Ion Velocities from the Resolute Bay ISR
This work is motivated by testing the same assumption on a more optimal experimental setting: using the north face of the Resolute Bay incoherent scatter radar (RISR-N) thereby reducing echo mixing due to spatio-temporal structuring.

In Vivo Investigation of Cardiac Metabolism in the Rat Using MRS of Hyperpolarized [1-C-13] and [2-C-13]Pyruvate
This work investigates changes in the metabolic fate of acetyl-CoA in response to metabolic interventions of DCA-induced increased PDC flux in the fed and fasted state, and increased cardiac workload with dobutamine in vivo in rat heart at two different pyruvate doses.

Meeting 2020 Workforce Goals: The Role of Industry–College Collaboration and Goals for Instructional Design
Since the 1990s, federal programs for workforce training have aimed to transform the role of community colleges from narrow contract training to a broader role that encompasses strategic instructional program planning and innovation to support lifelong learning for a changing workforce and economic development.
