Varenicline Enhances Dopamine Release Facilitation More Than Nicotine after Long-Term Nicotine Treatment and Withdrawal
Here, we used real-time cyclic voltammetry in brain slices containing the nucleus accumbens to further elucidate the changes in dopamine release linked to nicotine withdrawal.

Desalination Battery
PARCs desalination battery generates excess electrical energy during desalination mode, and rejects the stored salt ions into a salt water solution during recharge mode, pushing the total energy need for…

The alpha7 Nicotinic Receptor Agonist ABT-107 Protects against Nigrostriatal Damage in Rats with Unilateral 6-Hydroxydopamine Lesions
The objective of this study was twofold: first, to test the protective potential of ABT-107, an agonist with high selectivity for α7 nAChRs; and second, to investigate its cellular mechanism…

High-Latitude Ionospheric Drivers and Their Effects on Wind Patterns in the Thermosphere
In this study, we investigate the ability of the Global Ionosphere-Thermosphere Model (GITM) to simulate the mesoscale wind structure over Alaska during a substorm.

Singlet Molecular Oxygen Formation by O-Atom Recombination on Fused-Quartz Surfaces
Experimental results demonstrate O2(aΔ1g) (υ=0) formation by catalytic O-atom surface recombination in a room-temperature fused-quartz flow-tube reactor.

Effects of Tidal Forcing, Conductivity Gradient, and Active Seeding on the Climatology of Equatorial Spread F over Kwajalein
ESF climatology over the Kwajalein Atoll was compared with properties of the postsunset rise (PSSR) of the F layer and seeding activity in the troposphere.

Soft Agents: Exploring Soft Constraints to Model Robust Adaptive Distributed Cyber-Physical Agent Systems
We are interested in principles for designing and building open distributed systems consisting of multiple cyber-physical agents, specifically, where a coherent global view is unattainable and timely consensus is impossible.

Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping by Inversion of a Perturbation Field Model: Correlation with Brain Iron in Normal Aging
We present a method for quantifying susceptibility by inversion of a perturbation model, or “QSIP.” The perturbation model relates phase to susceptibility using a kernel calculated in the spatial domain,…

Re-Ranking by Multi-Feature Fusion with Diffusion for Image Retrieval
We present a re-ranking algorithm for image retrieval by fusing multi-feature information. We utilize pairwise similarity scores between images to exploit the underlying relationships among images.
