Complex Systems And Educational Change: Towards A New Research Agenda
In this article we begin to define possible agendas for research toward developing systematic frameworks and shared terminology for such a project.

Risking Communications Security: Potential Hazards of the Protect America Act
A new US law allows warrantless wiretapping whenever one end of the communication is believed to be outside national borders. This creates serious security risks: danger of exploitation of the…

Promoting Environmental Justice Through Community-Based Participatory Research: the Role of Community and Partnership Capacity
This article presents the results of a cross-site case study of four CBPR partnerships in the United States that researched environmental health problems and worked to educate legislators and promote…

Genes Implicated in Serotonergic and Dopaminergic Functioning Predict BMI Categories
This study addressed the hypothesis that variation in genes associated with dopamine function, serotonin function (SLC6A4, and regulation of monoamine levels (MAOA) may be predictive of BMI categories in young…

Abstractions for Hybrid Systems
We present a procedure for constructing sound finite-state discrete abstractions of hybrid systems. This procedure uses ideas from predicate abstraction to abstract the discrete dynamics and qualitative reasoning to abstract…

Evaluation of Matrix Metalloproteinases in Atherosclerosis Using a Novel Noninvasive Imaging Approach
This study evaluated the ability of the novel gadolinium-based MRI contrast agent P947 to target MMPs in atherosclerotic plaques.

Moisture Induced Electron Traps and Hysteresis in Pentacene-Based Organic Thin-Film Transistors
Previous work revealed that electron traps in pentacene formed in air cause hysteresis in thin-film transistor characteristics. Here, we experimentally showed that water vapor, rather than oxygen, is responsible for these hysteresis-causing trap states.

Role of Nucleation on the Growth of Nanocrystalline Diamond (NCD) Films: a Particular Study in the Fabrication of Micro-Cantilevers
It was observed that the films grown after pre-treating the substrates in pure nanodiamond slurry have not provided a complete coverage at the anchor regions of the cantilevers due to…

Evaluation of a Near-Field Monostatic-To-Bistatic Equivalence Theorem
This paper presents the results of an investigation to quantitatively determine the limits of Falconer's monostatic-to-bistatic equivalence theorem (MBET).
