Diclofenac Potassium Restores Objective and Subjective Measures of Sleep Quality in Women with Primary Dysmenorrhea
We determined the effectiveness of diclofenac potassium, compared to placebo, in alleviating nighttime pain and restoring sleep architecture in women with primary dysmenorrhea.

Genre Effects on Automatic Sentence Segmentation of Speech: a Comparison of Broadcast News and Broadcast Conversations
We investigate genre effects on the task of automatic sentence segmentation, focusing on two important domains – broadcast news (BN) and broadcast conversation (BC).

The Systems Biology Graphical Notation
We present the Systems Biology Graphical Notation (SBGN), a visual language developed by a community of biochemists, modelers and computer scientists. SBGN consists of three complementary languages: process diagram, entity relationship diagram and activity flow diagram.

Episodic Memory in Detoxified Alcoholics: Contribution of Grey Matter Microstructure Alteration
These findings support the hypothesis that regional microstructural but no macrostructural alteration of the brain might be responsible, at least in part, for episodic memory deficits in alcohol dependence.

Visualizing Implanted Tumors in Mice with Magnetic Resonance Imaging Using Magnetotactic Bacteria
Magnetotactic bacteria can produce positive magnetic resonance imaging contrast and colonize mouse tumor xenografts, providing a potential tool for improved magnetic resonance imaging visualization in preclinical and translational studies to track cancer.

Growth of Cubic Silicon Carbide on Oxide Using Polysilicon as a Seed Layer for Micro-Electro-Mechanical Machine Applications
The growth of highly oriented 3C–SiC directly on an oxide release layer was investigated as an alternative to using silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates for freestanding SiC films for MEMS applications.

Non-Linear Rewrite Closure and Weak Normalization
In this paper, we construct a rewrite closure for term rewrite systems that satisfy two properties: the right-hand side term in each rewrite rule contains no repeated variable (right-linear) and contains no variable occurring at depth greater than one (right-shallow).

Addressing The Assessment Challenge In An Online System That Tutors As It Assesses
Our hypothesis is that we can achieve more accurate assessment by not only using data on whether students get test items right or wrong, but by also using data on the effort required for students to solve a test item with instructional assistance.

Evaluation of the California Subject Matter Project: California International Studies Project Case Study
The California International Studies Project (CISP) strives to provide standards-based professional development in history and international studies to prepare students to live, work, and be informed, active citizens.

High School Reform in Chicago Public Schools: Autonomous Management and Performance Schools (Part Four of a Series of Five Reports)
The Autonomous Management and Performance Schools Program (AMPS) in the Chicago Public Schools is designed to grant high-performing and/or promising schools certain academic, programmatic, and operational freedoms. In theory, AMPS status is meant to confer a number of autonomies to schools that should enable them to better serve their students.
