Using Large-Scale Databases in Evaluation: Advances, Opportunities, and Challenges
The authors illustrate both the opportunities provided by higher quality, interoperable data systems and the challenges encountered when using databases to identify issues of concern, test the plausibility of a…

Climatology of Plasma Density Depletions Observed By DMSP in the Dawn Sector
We take advantage of the long history of plasma density measurements by a similar sensor on DMSP spacecraft to determine whether this change is typical of solar minima in general…

From Boots to Buoys: Promises and Challenges of Dielectric Elastomer Energy Harvesting
We have demonstrated energy harvesting transducers that have operated over 5 million cycles and have shown the ability of thematerial to survive for months underwater while undergoing voltage cycling.

Sensitivity to Secondhand Smoke Exposure Predicts Smoking Susceptibility in 8-13-Year-Old Never Smokers
We assessed the sensitivity to SHSe using reactions commonly used for the assessment of sensitivity to the first-smoked cigarette, and investigated the factor structure of these reactions for the purpose…

SR16388: a Steroidal Antiangiogenic Agent with Potent Inhibitory Effecton Tumor Growth in Vivo
We have developed a novel class of steroidal compounds aimed at blocking the angiogenic process in cancerous tissues.

The Growth Factor Progranulin Binds to Tnf Receptors and Is Therapeutic Against Inflammatory Arthritis in Mice
We report that PGRN bound directly to tumor necrosis factor receptors (TNFRs) and disturbed the TNFα-TNFR interaction. PGRN-deficient mice were susceptible to collagen-induced arthritis, and administration of PGRN reversed inflammatory…

The Effect of Ignoring Classroom-Level Variance in Estimating the Generalizability of School Mean Scores
This paper reports balanced and unbalanced generalizability analyses investigating the consequences of ignoring variation at the level of classrooms within schools when analyzing the reliability of such school-level accountability measures.

The First Universal Opioid Ligand, (2S)-2-[(5R,6R,7R,14S)-N- Cyclopropylmethyl-4,5-Epoxy-6,14-Ethano-3-Hydroxy-6-Methoxymorphinan-7-Yl]-3, 3-Dimethylpentan-2-Ol (Bu08028): Characterization of the in Vitro Profile and in Vivo Behavioral Effects in Mouse Models of Acute Pain and Cocaine-Induced Reward
We hypothesized that ligands with buprenorphine's physical properties, but possessing increased NOP receptor affinity and efficacy, would improve the profile as a drug abuse medication and reduce addiction liability.

Association of the Calcyon Neuron-Specific Vesicular Protein Gene (Caly) with Adolescent Smoking Initiation in China and California
These results suggest that the CALY gene may influence smoking initiation in adolescents, although the potential roles of underlying psychological characteristics remain to be explored.

Pontocerebellar Contribution to Postural Instability and Psychomotor Slowing in HIV Infection Without Dementia
We examined whether infratentorial brain tissue volume would be deficient in nondemented HIV-infected individuals and whether selective tissue deficits would be related to postural stability and psychomotor speed performance.
