In vivo Identification of Novel STAT5 Target Genes
To better characterize the differential contribution of STAT5A and STAT5B in gene regulation, we performed single or double knockdown of STAT5A and STAT5B using small interfering RNA. Subsequent gene expression…

Predicate Encryption Supporting Disjunctions, Polynomial Equations, and Inner Products
We construct such a scheme for predicates corresponding to the evaluation of inner products over (for some large integer N).

Sequential Monte Carlo in Reachability Heuristics for Probabilistic Planning
In this work, we apply heuristic search to conformant probabilistic planning by adapting planning graph heuristics developed for non-deterministic planning. We evaluate a straight-forward application of these planning graph techniques,…

Inor 121-Adventures in actinide coordination chemistry with Raymond ligands
There is a renewed effort to develop Raymond ligands as therapeutic agents for actinide decorporation that will be discussed.

Comparing Three Coordination Models: Reo, ARC, and RRD
Three models of coordination—Reo, Actors-Roles-Coordinators (ARC), and Reflective Russian Dolls (RRD)—are compared and contrasted according to a set of coordination features.

Distributed Multirobot Exploration, Mapping, and Task Allocation
We present a set of algorithms that have been both implemented and experimentally verified on teams—of what we refer to as Centibots—consisting of as many as 100 robots.

Advances in Pediatric Minimal Access Therapy: a Cautious Journey from Therapeutic Endoscopy to Transluminal Surgery Based on the Adult Experience
This article explores the confluence of pediatric minimal access surgery and therapeutic endoscopy in a novel modality called transluminal surgery, or NOTES.

Optical Scanner for Immunoassays with Up-Converting Phosphorescent Labels
Our results suggest that a simple 2-D imaging system can speed assay development, reduce errors, and improve accuracy by characterizing the spatial distribution and uniformity of surface-captured optical labels as…

Autonomous Biconnected Networks of Mobile Robots
We approach the subproblem of moving from a connected network of robots to achieving biconnectivity. Biconnectivity provides both robustness to change in links and better bandwidth for communication by providing…

American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine Consensus Report on Potential Bioeffects of Diagnostic Ultrasound: Executive Summary
The following summary is not meant as a substitute for the detailed examination of issues presented in each of the articles but rather as a means to facilitate further study…

Electric Power from Artificial Muscles
In this work, as a novel process for use of renewable energy, the authors would like to discuss the possibility of an artificial muscle actuator based on a dielectric electroactive…

Object Tracking and Classification in Aerial Videos
We combine the layer segmentation approach with background stabilization and post-tracking refinement to reliably detect small moving objects at the relatively low processing speed.
