Nicotine Dependence as a Moderator of Genetic Influences on Smoking Cessation Treatment Outcome
In this secondary analysis of clinical trial data, we examined nicotine dependence severity as a moderator of the effects of 1198 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 53 biologically-relevant gene regions…

Postsecondary Pathways and Persistence for Stem Versus Non-Stem Majors: Among College Students with an Autism Spectrum Disorder
This study analyzed data from the National Longitudinal Transition Study-2, 2001–2009, a nationally representative sample of students in special education with an ASD who progressed from high school to postsecondary…

The 24-H Progression of Menstrual Pain in Women with Primary Dysmenorrhea When Given Diclofenac Potassium: A Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Crossover Study
We aimed to investigate the efficacy of the daily recommended dose of diclofenac potassium in treating severe menstrual pain in women with severe primary dysmenorrhea.

The Effect of Solar Flares, Coronal Mass Ejections, and Solar Wind Streams on Venus’ 5577 Angstrom Oxygen Green Line
We find the greatest emission occurs after CMEs and suggest that particle precipitation is the main contributor to green line emission.

Design, Development, Implementation, and on-Orbit Performance of the Dynamic Ionosphere Cubesat Experiment Mission
The Dynamic Ionosphere CubeSat Experiment (DICE) mission consists of two 1.5U CubeSats which were launched into an eccentric low Earth orbit on October 28, 2011.

Emotion Detection in Speech Using Deep Networks
We propose a novel staged hybrid model for emotion detection in speech. Hybrid models exploit the strength of discriminative classifiers along with the representational power of generative models.

Lexical Stress Classification for Language Learning Using Spectral and Segmental Features
We present a system for detecting lexical stress in English words spoken by English learners. The system uses both spectral and segmental features to detect three levels of stress for…

Poor Autonomic Nervous System Functioning During Sleep in Recently Detoxified Alcohol-Dependent Men and Women
We investigated nighttime ANS functioning, and the relation between ANS activity and severity of alcohol dependence in chronic alcoholism.

Design of a Peptide Inhibitor of Tyrosine Kinase 2
The development of antisense peptide inhibitors is a relatively unexplored area of research, and here we investigate inhibitory peptides specific for the Janus-associated kinase (JAK) family member, tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2).

Robust Features and System Fusion for Reverberation-robust Speech Recognition
In this work, we present robust acoustic features motivated by the knowledge gained from human speech perception and production, and demonstrate that these features provide reasonable robustness to reverberation effects…

Neuroscience Meets Cryptography: Crypto Primitives Secure against Rubber Hose Attacks
We present a defense against coercion attacks using the concept of implicit learning from cognitive psychology. We use a carefully crafted computer game to plant a secret password in the participant’s brain…
