Current Understanding of Immunity to Trypanosoma Cruzi Infection and Pathogenesis of Chagas Disease
The pathogenesis of Chagas disease is complex and multifactorial involving many interactive pathways. The significance of innate immunity, including the contributions of cytokines, chemokines, reactive oxygen species, and oxidative stress,…

Vector Competence of Aedes Albopictus from Virginia and Georgia for Chikungunya Virus Isolated in the Comoros Islands
We evaluated recently colonized samples from Virginia and Georgia (USA) of Aedes albopictus, an important vector of chikungunya virus to determine whether they became infected with and transmitted COM125, a…

Efficacy of the GluK1/AMPA Receptor Antagonist LY293558 Against Seizures and Neuropathology in a Soman-Exposure Model without Pretreatment and its Pharmacokinetics After Intramuscular Administration
To determine if control of seizures and survival are still possible without pretreatment or immediate pharmacologic intervention, we studied the anticonvulsant efficacy of the GluK1 receptor antagonist.

Differential Contribution of Lipoxygenase Isozymes to Nigrostriatal Vulnerability
To determine whether the isozymes contribute differently to nigrostriatal vulnerability, the effects of 5- and 12/15-LOX deficiency on dopaminergic tone under naïve and toxicant-challenged conditions were tested.

Multimedia Event Recounting with Concept Based Representation
We conduct a pilot study of the multimedia event recounting problem, which answers the question why this video is recognized as this event, i.e. what evidences this decision is made…

Detection of scene obstructions and persistent view changes in transportation camera systems
Since these systems are often unattended, it is often important to automatically detect such incidents early. In this paper, we describe innovative algorithms to address these problems.

Reference image-independent fault detection in transportation camera systems for nighttime scenes
To address this, we present image quality metrics that can be extracted without a nominal reference image and can be used to characterize these problems.
