Scalable architecture for context-aware activity-detecting mobile recommendation systems
In this paper we describe the implementation of a mobile recommender system for leisure activities, codenamed Magitti, which was built for commercial deployment under stringent scalability requirements.

An integrated approach to qualitative model-based diagnosis
In this paper we propose a first step towards developing a more integrated multi-faceted approach to qualitative model-based reasoning.

Understanding the efficiency of social tagging systems using information theory
We analyze a social tagging site, namely del.icio.us, with information theory in order to evaluate the efficiency of this social tagging site for encoding navigation paths to information sources.

Using utility and microutility to manage resources in vehicle ad hoc networks
In this paper we describe how sources can model the potential usefulness of their information using utility functions that describe where and at what data rates the information will be…

Using utility and microutility to manage resources in vehicle ad hoc networks
We describe an approach to propagating streams of information in Vehicle Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) based on sources of information predicting where the information will be useful---information is pushed "based on…

Low cost, membrane-less water purification
PARC has developed a compact, low-cost purification system that reduces maintenance down-time, increases throughput, decreases power consumption, and shrinks real estate requirements.

Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid Receptor Genes and Nicotine Dependence: Evidence for Association from a Case-Control Study
We found evidence for association between four SNPs in GABRA4, two SNPs in GABRA2 and one SNP in GABRE with nicotine dependence.

Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Beta 2 Subunit Gene Implicated in a Systems-Based Candidate Gene Study of Smoking Cessation
We performed a systems-based candidate gene study of 1295 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 58 genes within the neuronal nicotinic receptor and dopamine systems to investigate their role in smoking…

Diffusion Tensor Tractography in Mesencephalic Bundles: Relation to Mental Flexibility in Detoxified Alcohol-Dependent Subjects
Components of the corticocerebellar circuit and the midbrain individually play a central role in addictive processes and have been associated with altered volumes and impairment of cognitive flexibility in alcohol-dependent…

Synthesis of Two Potential Heterocyclic Amine Food Mutagens
The syntheses of two potential food mutagens formed during cooking, 2-amino-3,6,7-trimethyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (1) and 2-amino-3,6,7-trimethyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine (2), are described.
