Electronic structure and mobility of alkylated and nonalkylated organic semiconductors: role of van der Waals interactions
We present a comparison based on first-principles calculations of the electronic structure of nonalkylated and alkylated dinaphtho[2,3-b:2,3-f]thieno[3,2-b]thiophene: DNTT and DNTT-C10.

Flow cytometry on a chip
After a brief review of some new technologies important for on the flow anayte characterization we will describe an optical detection technique termed spatially modulated fluorescence emission developed at PARC…

Persistent photoconductivity effects in printed n-channel organic transistors
Persistent photoconductivity of top-gate n-type organic transistors is investigated, as the irradiation of light leads to a negative shift in transistor threshold voltage and an increase in subthreshold current.

Early childhood language interventions: An illustration of the model demonstration process
This project brief summarizes the characteristics, implementation experiences, and outcomes achieved by one of OSEP’s investments in model demonstration activities—a cohort of three grantees that demonstrated various approaches to implementing…

A review of literature: Mix it up with blended learning in K-12 schools
The term “blended learning” represents a wide spectrum of delivery options, tools, and pedagogies, but conceptually refers to instruction that is a mix or blending of traditional face-to-face (f2f) and…

Textile Damage in Astronaut Gloves
This article describes the damage observations and results of the laboratory tests, deduces how the damage occurred, and presents guidelines for designing gloves that are more damage resistant.

Distinct Loci in the CHRNA5/CHRNA3/CHRNB4 Gene Cluster Are Associated with Onset of Regular Smoking
This meta-analysis examines early smoking phenotypes and SNPs in the gene cluster to determine: (1) whether the most robust association signal in this region (rs16969968) for other smoking behaviors is…

Long-Term Nicotine Treatment Down-Regulates Alpha 6 Beta 2* Nicotinic Receptor Expression and Function in Nucleus Accumbens
We therefore treated rats for 2–3 months with nicotine and examined alterations in nAChR subtype expression and electrically evoked dopamine release in rat nucleus accumbens shell, a region key in addiction.

A Distributed Logic for Networked Cyber-Physical Systems
We describe a distributed logical framework designed to serve as a declarative semantic foundation for Networked Cyber-Physical Systems.

Comparison of SuperDARN Irregularity Drift Measurements and F-Region Ion Velocities from the Resolute Bay ISR
This work is motivated by testing the same assumption on a more optimal experimental setting: using the north face of the Resolute Bay incoherent scatter radar (RISR-N) thereby reducing echo…

Influence of a Dopamine Pathway Additive Genetic Efficacy Score on Smoking Cessation: Results from Two Randomized Clinical Trials of Bupropion
We aimed to evaluate associations of treatment and an ‘additive genetic efficacy score’ (AGES) based on dopamine functional polymorphisms with time to first smoking lapse and point prevalence abstinence at…

In Vivo Investigation of Cardiac Metabolism in the Rat Using MRS of Hyperpolarized [1-C-13] and [2-C-13]Pyruvate
This work investigates changes in the metabolic fate of acetyl-CoA in response to metabolic interventions of DCA-induced increased PDC flux in the fed and fasted state, and increased cardiac workload…
