Early Indicators of Exposure to Biological Threat Agents Using Host Gene Profiles in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells
To detect exposures to the various pathogens more rapidly, especially during these early stages, we evaluated a suite of host responses to biological threat agents using global gene expression profiling…

Telephone-Based Tobacco-Cessation Treatment Re-Enrollment Among Diverse Groups
This study aimed to determine the rates of quitline re-enrollment and to compare the responses of people of varying racial/ethnic identities to invitations utilizing different communication strategies.

Annotation-Based Inference of Transporter Function
We present a method for inferring and constructing transport reactions for transporter proteins based primarily on the analysis of the names of individual proteins in the genome annotation of an…

Cortical Processing of Respiratory Occlusion Stimuli in Children with Central Hypoventilation Syndrome
Cortical integration of afferent mechanical stimuli caused by respiratory loading or upper airway occlusion can be tested by measuring respiratory-related evoked potentials (RREPs). We hypothesized that patients with CHS would…

Hypocretin/Orexin and Nociceptin/Orphanin Fq Coordinately Regulate Analgesia in a Mouse Model of Stress-Induced Analgesia
Stress-induced analgesia (SIA) is a key component of the defensive behavioral “fight-or-flight” response. Although the neural substrates of SIA are incompletely understood, previous studies have implicated the hypocretin/orexin (Hcrt) and…

High throughput membrane-less water purification
This paper describes a highly scalable fluidic technology that presents a transformative approach to the practice of conventional water treatment.

Scalable architecture for context-aware activity-detecting mobile recommendation systems
In this paper we describe the implementation of a mobile recommender system for leisure activities, codenamed Magitti, which was built for commercial deployment under stringent scalability requirements.

An integrated approach to qualitative model-based diagnosis
In this paper we propose a first step towards developing a more integrated multi-faceted approach to qualitative model-based reasoning.

Understanding the efficiency of social tagging systems using information theory
We analyze a social tagging site, namely del.icio.us, with information theory in order to evaluate the efficiency of this social tagging site for encoding navigation paths to information sources.

Using utility and microutility to manage resources in vehicle ad hoc networks
In this paper we describe how sources can model the potential usefulness of their information using utility functions that describe where and at what data rates the information will be…

Using utility and microutility to manage resources in vehicle ad hoc networks
We describe an approach to propagating streams of information in Vehicle Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) based on sources of information predicting where the information will be useful---information is pushed "based on…

Low cost, membrane-less water purification
PARC has developed a compact, low-cost purification system that reduces maintenance down-time, increases throughput, decreases power consumption, and shrinks real estate requirements.
