Genetic Analysis of a Population Heavy Drinking Phenotype Identifies Risk Variants in Whites
This proof-of-concept analysis examined whether population data of lifetime heaviest alcohol consumption may be used to identify genetic loci that modulate risk.

Midbrain-Driven Emotion and Reward Processing in Alcoholism
Enhanced midbrain activation to alcohol-related words suggests neuroadaptation of dopaminergic midbrain systems. We speculate that such tuning is normally associated with behavioral conditioning to optimize responses but here contributed to…

Android Provenance: Diagnosing Device Disorders
We propose operating system auditing and data provenance tracking as mechanisms for generating useful traces of system activity and information flow on mobile devices.

A Systematic Screen of FDA-Approved Drugs for Inhibitors of Biological Threat Agents
The feasibility of repurposing existing drugs to face novel threats is demonstrated and this represents the first effort to apply this approach to high containment bacteria and viruses.

The Ability of Plasma Cotinine to Predict Nicotine and Carcinogen Exposure Is Altered by Differences in CYP2A6: The Influence of Genetics, Race, and Sex
Cotinine, a nicotine metabolite, is a biomarker of tobacco, nicotine, and carcinogen exposure. However, a given cotinine level may not represent the same tobacco exposure; for example, African-Americans have higher…

Towards an Evidence Framework for Design-Based Implementation Research
In this chapter, we compare the approach to evidence implicit in the defining features of DBIR to the prevailing evidence standards for educational research promoted by national policy.

Pharmacological Characterization of GPR120 Ligands
The goal of the current study was to understand GPR120 ligand selectivity by testing agonist activity of various fatty acids in cell based assays to measure G-protein activated second messengers,…

Inclusive STEM High School Design: 10 Critical Components
This paper introduces a pair of relatively new research projects that focus on an innovative type of school that is quietly emerging across the U.S., Inclusive STEM-focused High Schools (ISHSs).

On the Applicability of Speaker Diarization to Audio Indexing of Non-Speech and Mixed Non-Speech/Speech Video
This paper explores how unsupervised audio segmentation systems like speaker diarization can be adapted to automatically identify low-level sound concepts similar to annotator defined concepts and how these concepts can…

Enabling Hardware Exploration in Software-Defined Networking: A Flexible, Portable Openflow Switch
We present an FPGA-based switch which is fully-compliant with OpenFlow 1.0, and meets the 10 Gbps line rate.

Frequency-Selective Surface Coupled Metal-Oxide-Metal Diodes
In this work we investigate integrating MOM diodes with a slot antenna Frequency Selective Surface (FSS). This maximizes the electromagnetic capture area while minimizing the transmission line length which helps…
