Sleep, Rhythms, and the Endocrine Brain: Influence of Sex and Gonadal Hormones
This a summary of recent work illustrating how sex differences and gonadal hormones influence sleep and circadian rhythms that was presented at a Mini-Symposium at the 2011 annual meeting of…

Synthesizing Switching Logic Using Constraint Solving
We present an approach for solving the switching logic synthesis problem in the case when the dynamics in each mode are given using differential equations and the synthesized system is…

Evaluation of Gyrase B as a Drug Target in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
Aminobenzimidazole inhibitors of GyrB exhibit many of the characteristics required for their consideration as a potential front-line antimycobacterial therapeutic.

Uncertainty Quantification of a Graphite Nitridation Experiment Using a Bayesian Approach
A stochastic system based Bayesian approach is applied to estimate different model parameters and hence quantify the uncertainty of a graphite nitridation experiment.

Examining Teachers’ Instructional Moves Aimed at Developing Students’ Ideas and Questions in Learner-Centered Science Classrooms
We examined teachers’ instructional moves to elicit and develop students’ ideas and questions as they orchestrated discourse with their fifth grade students during a learner-centered environmental biology unit.
-
Geo-Localization of Street Views with Aerial Image Databases
We study the feasibility of solving the challenging problem of geolocalizing ground level images in urban areas with respect to a database of images captured from the air such as…

Differential Effects of Nocicetin/Orphanin FQ (NOP) Receptor Agonists in Acute Versus Chronic Pain: Studies with Bifunctional NOP/μ Receptor Agonists in the Sciatic Nerve Ligation Chronic Pain Model in Mice
We identified a novel nociceptin/orphanin FQ (NOP)/μ-opioid receptor agonist, SR 16435, with high binding affinity and partial agonist activity at both receptors.

Isotopic Reinforcement of Essential Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Diminishes Nigrostriatal Degeneration in a Mouse Model of Parkinson’s Disease
We tested the hypothesis that isotopic reinforcement, by deuteration of the bisallylic sites most susceptible to oxidation in PUFA may provide at least partial protection against nigrostriatal injury.

Age-Related Reorganization of Functional Networks for Successful Conflict Resolution: a Combined Functional and Structural MRI Study
To identify age-related differences in neural circuits subserving conflict processing, we combined structural and functional MRI and a Stroop Match-to-Sample task involving perceptual cueing and repetition to modulate resources in…

Flexible printed electronics: from materials characterization to device integration
In this talk, I will present the advantages and limitations of printed devices, and then discuss how to integrate the individual components by using complementary organic semiconductor circuits.

Solution-processed memristive junctions used in a threshold indicator
Memristive metal/oxide/metal structures were patterned by inkjet printing, and these printed crossbar junctions were characterized to infer ionic and electronic transport parameters such as mobility and ion distribution.
