Modulation of the Cannabinoid Receptors by Hemopressin Peptides
The exciting finding of endocannabinoid system modulation by the nonapeptide hemopressin and its N-terminal extensions has highlighted the complexity of cannabinoid biology and pharmacology and sparked interest for therapeutic purposes.

Meteorites from Mars Via a Natural Two-Stage Gas Gun
We conclude that Martian rocks could be accelerated by the expansion of supercritical water that was shock compressed by the impact of an asteroid or comet, as was originally proposed by Wasson and Wetherill.

Object-Oriented Knowledge Bases in Logic Programming
We describe the axiomatic content of a biology knowledge base that poses both theoretical and empirical challenges for knowledge intensive reasoning.

A Systematic Quantitative Proteomic Examination of Multidrug Resistance in Acinetobacter Baumannii
We have compared the proteome of the multidrug resistant strain BAA-1605, with the proteome of the drug-sensitive strain ATCC 17978, using iTRAQ labeling and online 2D LC/MS/MS for peptide/protein identification.

Understanding the Sleep-Wake Cycle: Sleep, Insomnia, and the Orexin System
Andrew D. Krystal, MD, MS, gathered a panel of experts in the area of the sleep-wake cycle and insomnia to review recent research and advances in understanding, current treatments for insomnia, and how those new advances might be translated into new, more effective treatments.

Conceptual Models of Structure and Function
We report our achievements in creating conceptual, multidimensional models of biological structure and function out of the linear text of an introductory biology textbook.

A General Approach to Online Sensor Calibration for Navigation Using Factor Graphs
We present a general method for online sensor calibration using factor graphs, which can be applied to a wide range of sensors and parameter types.

A Mechanism of Rapidly Reversible Cerebral Ventricular Enlargement Independent of Tissue Atrophy
Here, multimodal imaging, incorporating structural MRI, MRS, and DWI, was used in rats exposed to binge ethanol to provide insight into a mechanism of reversible ventricular enlargement.

Algorithms for Geodesics
Algorithms for the computation of geodesics on an ellipsoid of revolution are given. These provide accurate, robust, and fast solutions to the direct and inverse geodesic problems and they allow differential and integral properties of geodesics to be computed.
