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…

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…

SENSOR: embedded fiber optic sensing for accurate state estimation in advanced battery management systems
Under the ARPA-E AMPED program for advanced battery management systems (BMS), PARC and LG Chem Power are developing SENSOR (Smart Embedded Network of Sensors with an Optical Readout), an optically…

Embedded Fiber Optic Chemical Sensing for Internal Cell Side-Reaction Monitoring in Advanced Battery Management Systems
This paper focuses on in situ FO chemical sensing methods tailored for accurate cell side-reaction monitoring.

Identification and optimization of PDE10A inhibitors using fragment-based screening by nanocalorimetry and X-ray crystallography
Here we use enthalpy arrays, which are arrays of nanocalorimeters, to perform an enzyme activity-based fragment screen for competitive inhibitors of phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A).

The Influence of Family Socioeconomic Status on the Post–High School Outcomes of Youth With Disabilities
Results show that SES had a statistically significant but relatively small effect on outcomes, to a sizable extent the effect of SES was mediated by other factors...

Maternal Nutrition at Conception Modulates DNA Methylation of Human Metastable Epialleles
We show that significant seasonal variations in methyl-donor nutrient intake of mothers around the time of conception influence 13 relevant plasma biomarkers. Our results demonstrate that maternal nutritional status during…

Auroral Ionospheric F Region Density Cavity Formation and Evolution: Mica Campaign Results
Auroral ionospheric F region density depletions observed by PFISR (Poker Flat Incoherent Scatter Radar) during the MICA (Magnetosphere-Ionosphere Coupling in the Alfvén Resonator) sounding rocket campaign are critically examined alongside complementary numerical…

Sudemycin E Influences Alternative Splicing and Changes Chromatin Modifications
To determine the effect on gene expression, we performed genome-wide array analysis. Sudemycin E first causes a rapid change in alternative pre-messenger RNA splicing, which is later followed by changes…
