Proactive or reactive routing: a unified analytical framework in MANETs
We present a mathematical framework for the performance evaluation of proactive and reactive routing protocols operating in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs).

Collaborative routing, scheduling and frequency assignment for wireless ad hoc networks using spectrum-agile radios
We present the CROWN (Collaborative ROuting, scheduling and frequency assignment for Wireless ad hoc Networks) scheme.

Channel access using opportunistic reservations and virtual MIMO
We propose ORCHESTRA, a channel access protocol that uses reservations and virtual MIMO to provide high throughput and bounded channel access delays.

Best-effort quality-of-service
We present a new, best-effort architecture for providing quality-of-service in the Internet, based on the use of the best set of paths” to destinations.

Genetic Influences in the Variation in Renal Clearance of Nicotine and Cotinine
In this study of 139 pairs of twins, we have estimated the genetic and environmental contributions to total renal clearance and net secretory/ reabsorptive clearance of nicotine and cotinine.

Noninteractive Statistical Zero-Knowledge Proofs for Lattice Problems
We construct noninteractive statistical zero-knowledge (NISZK) proof systems for a variety of standard approximation problems on lattices, such as the shortest independent vectors problem and the complement of the shortest vector problem.

Model Driven Segmentation of Articulating Humans in Laplacian Eigenspace
We propose a general approach using Laplacian Eigenmaps and a graphical model of the human body to segment 3D voxel data of humans into different articulated chains. In the bottom-up stage, the voxels are transformed into a high-dimensional (6D or less) Laplacian Eigenspace (LE) of the voxel neighborhood graph.

Fuel 109-New Proton Conductive Composite Materials with Inorganic and Styrene Grafted and Sulfonated Vdf/Ctfe Fluoropolymers
To understand the effect of different membrane components on its properties, thermal properties of composites have been investigated. It was found that the content of CTFE units, St and sulfonic groups effected membrane flexibility and swelling.

Adamantyl-Substituted Retinoid-Derived Molecules That Interact with the Orphan Nuclear Receptor Small Heterodimer Partner: Effects of Replacing the 1-Adamantyl or Hydroxyl Groupon Inhibition of Cancer Cell Growth, Induction of Cancer Cell Apoptosis, and Inhibition of Src Homology 2 Domain-Containing Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase-2 Activity
Abstract (E)-4-[3-(1-Adamantyl)-4′-hydroxyphenyl]-3-chlorocinnamic acid (3-Cl-AHPC) induces the cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis of leukemia and cancer cells. Studies demonstrated that 3-Cl-AHPC bound to the atypical orphan nuclear receptor small heterodimer partner (SHP). Although missing a DNA-binding domain, SHP heterodimerizes with the ligand-binding domains of other nuclear receptors to repress their abilities to induce or inhibit gene expression.…

In Vivo Evidence for Alcohol-Induced Neurochemical Changes in Rat Brain Without Protracted Withdrawal, Pronounced Thiamine Deficiency, or Severe Liver Damage
Longitudinal effects of alcohol on brain metabolites measured in basal ganglia with single-voxel MRS were investigated in sibling pairs of wild-type Wistar rats, with one rat per pair exposed to escalating doses of vaporized alcohol, the other to vapor chamber air.
