Macro-Level Indicators of the Relations Between Research Funding and Research Output
Abstract In response to the call for a science of science policy, we discuss the contribution of indicators at the macro-level of nations from a scientometric perspective. In addition to global trends such as the rise of China, one can relate percentages of world share of publications to government expenditure in academic research. The marginal…

Using a Semantic Wiki as a Knowledge Source for Rich Modeling and Question Answering
We are exploring the following hypothesis at the intersection between knowledge engineering and the semantic web: Can we use a semantic wiki to acquire symbolic knowledge on the web that can then be used in the context of a deductive question answering system?

Effect of Resveratrol on 17 Beta-Estradiol Sulfation By Human Hepatic and Jejunal S9 and Recombinant Sulfotransferase 1E1
Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the sulfation of resveratrol (3,5,4′-trihydroxystilbene) and its potential to exhibit drug-drug interactions via sulfation. The possible interaction of resveratrol with 17β-estradiol (E2), a major estrogen hormone and prototypic substrate for sulfate conjugation, was studied. Resveratrol and E2 are both known to undergo sulfate conjugation catalyzed by…

Outdoor Mapping and Navigation Using Stereo Vision
We consider the problem of autonomous navigation in an unstructured outdoor environment. The goal is for a small outdoor robot to come into a new area, learn about and map its environment, and move to a given goal at modest speeds (1 m/s). This problem is especially difficult in outdoor, off-road environments, where tall grass,…

Preparing Teachers To Teach For Deep Understanding: A Curriculum-Based Approach
A central goal of most professional development in Earth science is to help teachers prepare their students to develop a deep understanding of subject matter. We describe an approach that accomplishes this goal by preparing teachers to use a principled approach to adapting high-quality curriculum materials for middle-school Earth science units.
