A Corpus Analysis of Patterns of Age-Related Change in Conversational Speech
Conversational speech from over 300 speakers from 17 to 68 years of age was analyzed for age-related changes in the timing and content of spoken language production.

Measuring Addiction Propensity and Severity: the Need for a New Instrument
This paper argues for a new measurement approach and instrument to quantify propensity to and severity of addiction, based on the testable assumption that these constructs can be mapped onto…

Gene-Environment Interactions in Parkinson’s Disease and Other Forms of Parkinsonism
The application of emerging genomic technologies, such as Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS), will certainly further our knowledge of Parkinson's disease (PD)-related genes.

A comparative large scale study of MLP features for mandarin ASR
In this paper, all the proposed frontends are compared in systematic manner and we extensively investigate the scalability of these features in terms of the amount of training data (from…

Repurposing FDA-Approved Drugs to Combat Drug-Resistant Acinetobacter Baumannii
We wanted to identify new scaffolds for drug discovery by repurposing FDA-approved drugs against Acinetobacter baumannii, an emerging Gram-negative nosocomial drug-resistant pathogen.

Live Transference of Surgical Subspecialty Skills Using Telerobotic Proctoring to Remote General Surgeons
We hypothesized that telementoring by a surgical subspecialist using a robotic platform is feasible and can convey subspecialty knowledge and skill to a remotely located general surgeon.

White Matter Fiber Degradation Attenuates Hemispheric Asymmetry When Integrating Visuomotor Information
We used diffusion tensor imaging tractography to examine the specific contributions of interhemispheric and intrahemispheric white matter fibers to functional measures of hemispheric transfer and parallel information processing.

Novel Inhibitor of Influenza Non-Structural Protein 1 Blocks Multi-Cycle Replication in an RNase L-Dependent Manner
This study demonstrated the biological mechanism for a potent new NS1 antagonist. Compound JJ3297 inhibited virus replication by more than three orders of magnitude without affecting cell viability.

Asynchronous reflections: theory and practice in the design of multimedia mirror systems
In this paper, we present a theoretical framing of the functions of a mirror by breaking the synchrony between the state of a reference object and its reflection.
