Expression, Activity, and Function of Phosphodiesterases in the Mature and Immature Ductus Arteriosus
We used ductus from immature (n = 25) and mature (n = 21) fetal sheep to investigate whether a developmental increase in PDE activity could explain the diminished cAMP accumulation that follows…

Mitochondrial DNA Content: Its Genetic Heritability and Association with Renal Cell Carcinoma
The extent to which mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content (also termed mtDNA copy number) in normal human cells is influenced by genetic factors has yet to be established. In addition, whether…

Standardized Atlas of the Brain of the Desert Locust, Schistocerca Gregaria
To provide a common multi-user platform for neural circuit analysis in the brain of this species, we have generated a standardized three-dimensional brain of this locust.

Defect Reduction of GaAs/Si Epitaxy By Aspect Ratio Trapping
We report on the metallorganic chemical vapor deposition growth of GaAs on patterned Si (001) substrates, which utilizes the aspect ratio trapping method. It was found that when growingGaAs above the SiO2SiO2 trenched region, coalescence-induced…

Limits on the Hardness of Lattice Problems in L(P) Norms
Several recent papers have established limits on the computational difficulty of lattice problems, focusing primarily on the ℓ 2 (Euclidean) norm. We demonstrate close analogues of these results in ℓ…

Ibuprofen-Induced Patent Ductus Arteriosus Closure: Physiologic, Histologic, and Biochemical Effects on the Premature Lung
The goal was to study the pulmonary, biochemical, and morphologic effects of a persistent patent ductus arteriosus in a preterm baboon model of bronchopulmonary dysplasia.

A Low-Cost Laser Distance Sensor
We describe a compact, planar laser distance sensor (LDS) that has capabilities comparable to current laser scanners: 3 cm accuracy out to 6 m, 10 Hz acquisition, and 1 degree…

Formal Specification of Agent-Object Oriented Programs
This paper presents a methodology for the formal specification of agent-object oriented programs. Agent-object oriented programming is a programming paradigm that integrates both agent-oriented programming and object- oriented programming.

Impacts of students’ experimentation using a dynamic visualization on their understanding of motion
This study examines how students' experimentation with a dynamic visualization contributes to their understanding of science. We designed a week-long, technology-enhanced inquiry module on car collisions.

Microscopic Theory of Electron Spin Relaxation in N@ C60
Here, we present a microscopic theory of electron spin relaxation in N@C60. The theory combines (1) the spin-orbit interaction of N 2p electrons, which mixes the ground-state 4S with excited 2P and 2D states.

Near-Infrared Fluorescent Labeling of Tissue Transglutaminase Substrates for Imaging Tumor Boundaries
A novel strategy is developed to optically image tumor boundaries by cross-linking near-infrared fluorescent-labeled tissue transglutaminase substrates into tumor boundary tissue.
