Fundamental limits of information dissemination in wireless ad hoc networks-part II: Multi-packet reception
We present capacity and delay scaling laws for random wireless ad hoc networks under all information dissemination modalities (unicast, multicast, broadcast and anycast) when nodes are endowed with multi-packet reception (MPR) capabilities.

Sensitivity to Secondhand Smoke Exposure Predicts Smoking Susceptibility in 8-13-Year-Old Never Smokers
We assessed the sensitivity to SHSe using reactions commonly used for the assessment of sensitivity to the first-smoked cigarette, and investigated the factor structure of these reactions for the purpose of data reduction.

The Growth Factor Progranulin Binds to Tnf Receptors and Is Therapeutic Against Inflammatory Arthritis in Mice
We report that PGRN bound directly to tumor necrosis factor receptors (TNFRs) and disturbed the TNFα-TNFR interaction. PGRN-deficient mice were susceptible to collagen-induced arthritis, and administration of PGRN reversed inflammatory arthritis.

The Effect of Ignoring Classroom-Level Variance in Estimating the Generalizability of School Mean Scores
This paper reports balanced and unbalanced generalizability analyses investigating the consequences of ignoring variation at the level of classrooms within schools when analyzing the reliability of such school-level accountability measures.

The First Universal Opioid Ligand, (2S)-2-[(5R,6R,7R,14S)-N- Cyclopropylmethyl-4,5-Epoxy-6,14-Ethano-3-Hydroxy-6-Methoxymorphinan-7-Yl]-3, 3-Dimethylpentan-2-Ol (Bu08028): Characterization of the in Vitro Profile and in Vivo Behavioral Effects in Mouse Models of Acute Pain and Cocaine-Induced Reward
We hypothesized that ligands with buprenorphine’s physical properties, but possessing increased NOP receptor affinity and efficacy, would improve the profile as a drug abuse medication and reduce addiction liability.

Association of the Calcyon Neuron-Specific Vesicular Protein Gene (Caly) with Adolescent Smoking Initiation in China and California
These results suggest that the CALY gene may influence smoking initiation in adolescents, although the potential roles of underlying psychological characteristics remain to be explored.
