Pruning non-informative text through non-expert annotations to improve sentiment classification
In this paper, we present a highly effective procedure for using crowd-sourcing techniques for labeling informative and non-informative information regarding the sentiment expressed in a sentence.

Geiger-Mode Avalanche Photodiode Focal Plane Arrays for Three-Dimensional Imaging LADAR
We report on the development of focal plane arrays (FPAs) employing two-dimensional arrays of InGaAsP-based Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes (GmAPDs).

The Importance of Fuel Dissociation and Propargyl + Allyl Association for the Formation of Benzene in a Fuel-Rich 1-Hexene Flame
Fuel decomposition and benzene formation processes in a premixed, laminar, low-pressure, fuel-rich flame of 1-hexene are investigated.

Efficient Variable Elimination for Semi-Structured Simple Temporal Networks with Continuous Domains
We show that for an Simple Temporal Network, messages can be represented compactly as sub-STNs. We then present an efficient message-passing scheme for computing the minimal constraints of an STN.

Preclinical Pharmacokinetic, Toxicological and Biomarker Evaluation of SR16157, a Novel Dual-Acting Steroid Sulfatase Inhibitor and Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator
SR16157 is a novel dual-acting inhibitor of estrogen action that irreversibly inhibits the estrogen biosynthetic enzyme steroid sulfatase and releases the selective estrogen receptor modulator SR16137, which blocks the estrogen…

Alpha 6 Beta 2*And Alpha 4 Beta 2*Nicotinic Receptors Both Regulate Dopamine Signaling with Increased Nigrostriatal Damage: Relevance to Parkinson’s Disease
We investigated the effect of varying nigrostriatal damage on α6β2* and α4β2* receptor-modulated dopamine signaling using cyclic voltammetry.

Biological Impact of Low Dose-Rate Simulated Solar Particle Event Radiation in Vivo
C57Bl6-lacZ animals were exposed to a range of low dose-rate simulated solar particle event (sSPE) radiation at the NASA-sponsored Research Laboratory (NSRL) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL).

Nonprofits and the Valley of Death in Drug Discovery
The research and development (R&D) process that ultimately leads to effective drugs is exceedingly difficult, and often the public does not understand the drug discovery pipeline.

Resequencing of Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Genes and Association of Common and Rare Variants with the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence
We investigated the contribution of common SNPs and rare single-nucleotide variants in nAChR genes to Fagerström test for nicotine dependence scores in treatment-seeking smokers.
