Pharmacological Characterization of RO5461861, a Potent and Selective PDE10A Inhibitor
We describe the characterization of a new class of potent PDE10A inhibitors exemplified by 4-(Azetidine-1 -carbonyl)-2-methyl-2-H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid (2-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-7-yl)-amide (RO5461861) in vitro as well as in behavioral tests relevant to NMDA-R…

Biodistribution of the Multidentate Hydroxypyridinonate Ligand [(14) C]-3,4,3-Li(1,2-HOPO), a Potent Actinide Decorporation Agent
The pharmacokinetics and biodistribution of the 14C-labeled actinide decorporation agent 3,4,3-LI(1,2-HOPO) were investigated in young adult Swiss Webster mice and Sprague Dawley rats, after intravenous, intraperitoneal, and oral dose administration.

High Frequency Neuronal Oscillations in a Cynomolgus Macaque Test of Working Memory Following NMDA Receptor Antagonism
Disruptions in sensory processing and abnormal temporal integration of neuronal oscillations have been identified in schizophrenic patients and may contribute to poor performance in working memory task testing.

Assessments for Computational Thinking in K-12
This paper argues for the need for multiple measures or “systems of assessments” that are complementary, attend to cognitive and non-cognitive aspects of CT, and contribute to a comprehensive picture…

Reduced Cerebral and Cardiovascular Hemodynamics During Sustained Affective Stimulation in Young Women with Chronic Low Blood Pressure
We assessed central and peripheral hemodynamic changes in 15 undergraduate women with chronic hypotension and 15 normotensive controls during sustained exposure to pleasant, unpleasant and neutral pictures.

Activation of alpha2-Adrenergic Receptor by (R,R’)-4′-Methoxy-1-Naphthylfenoterol Inhibits Proliferation and Motility of Melanoma Cells
Taken together, these results identified β2-AR as a novel potential target for melanoma management, and (R,R')-MNF as an efficient trigger of anti-tumorigenic cAMP/PKA-dependent signaling in β2-AR-expressing lesions.

Snap-N-Eat: Food Recognition and Nutrition Estimation on a Smartphone
We present snap-n-eat, a mobile food recognition system. The system can recognize food and estimate the calorific and nutrition content of foods automatically without any user intervention.

Lack of Associations of CHRNA5-A3-B4 Genetic Variants with Smoking Cessation Treatment Outcomes in Caucasian Smokers Despite Associations with Baseline Smoking
We observed no significant associations between CHRNA5-A3-B4 variants and smoking cessation, despite replicating previous associations with baseline tobacco consumption.

Towards community-centered support for peer-to-peer service exchange: rethinking the timebanking metaphor
We conducted a field study of the most prominent of these, timebanking; a system in which 'time dollars' are earned and spent by people providing services for and receiving them…
