Synthesis of Tritium-Labeled (R,R)-4-Methoxyfenoterol
The preparation of 2′,4′,6′-[3H3]-(R,R)-4-methoxyfenoterol, a tritium-labeled derivative of (R,R)-4-methoxyfenoterol was demonstrated on a 15 mCi scale providing material with a specific activity of 57 Ci/mmol.

A Survey of Vendor Software Assurance Practices
In this paper, we examine what real vendors do to ensure that their products are reasonably secure. Our conclusion is that software vendors put significant energy into software security, but there is significant variation in where they invest their money.

SR16157 Is a Potent Dual-Acting Inhibitor of Estrogen Biosynthesis and Estrogen Receptor
Using in vitro and xenograft MCF-7 breast cancer models, we demonstrated that SR16157 inhibited STS activity, cell growth, and estrogenic functions and that SR16137 reduced expression of estrogen-regulated genes with greater potency than tamoxifen.

A Graphical User Interface for Maude-NPA
This paper presents a graphical user interface (GUI) for the Maude-NPA, a crypto protocol analysis tool that takes into account algebraic properties of cryptosystems not supported by other tools, such as cancellation of encryption and decryption, Abelian groups (including exclusive or), and modular exponentiation.

Learning When Concepts Abound
We compare the index-learning methods against other techniques, including one-versus-rest and top-down classification using perceptrons and support vector machines.

Contribution of Regional White Matter Integrity to Visuospatial Construction Accuracy, Organizational Strategy, and Memory for a Complex Figure in Abstinent Alcoholics
Visuospatial construction ability as used in drawing complex figures is commonly impaired in chronic alcoholics, but memory for such information can be enhanced by use of a holistic drawing strategy during encoding.

Active Botnet Probing to Identify Obscure Command and Control Channels
We consider the problem of identifying obscure chat-like botnet command and control (C & C) communications, which are indistinguishable from human-human communication using traditional signature-based techniques.
