Sioc Ceramic with High Excess Free Carbon
The correlation between microstructure evolution and increasing processing temperature of a polymer-derived SiOC ceramic with a high volume fraction of free carbon was studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Alpha- and Beta-6-Amido Derivatives of 17-Cyclopropylmethyl-3, 14 Beta-Dihydroxy-4, 5 Alpha-Epoxymorphinan: Potential Alcohol-Cessation Agents
Substituted aryl and aliphatic amide analogues of 6-naltrexamine were synthesized and used to characterize the binding to and functional activity of human μ-, δ-, and κ-opioid receptors.

Using Spectral Characteristics to Interpret Auroral Imaging in the 731.9 Nm O+ Line
Simultaneous observations were made of dynamic aurora during substorm activity on 26 January 2006 with three high spatial and temporal resolution instruments: the ASK (Auroral Structure and Kinetics) instrument, SIF…

Gender Differences In Science
We present a review of research that looks at alternative explanations for these gender differences in science. Specifically, we consider the significance of girls’ science attitudes and the pervasive influence—both…

Leaving Flatland: Realtime 3D Stereo Semantic Reconstruction
We report our first experiences with Leaving Flatland, an exploratory project which studies the key challenges in closing the loop on autonomous perception and action in challenging terrain.

Observations of Plasma Line Splitting in the Ionospheric Incoherent Scatter Spectrum
Wide-bandwidth ionospheric incoherent scatter (IS) spectra obtained using the Arecibo IS radar show the occurrence of a split in the plasma line (i.e., two plasma lines) when the plasma frequency…

The Mineralogy of Shock-Induced Melt Vein in Martian Meteorite Zagami: Shock Pressure and Ejection Mechanism
This is the first report of Post-stishovite was found in zagami meteorite in the maskelynite outside of shock-induced melt vein. The mineralogy assemblages of melt vein, including stishovite, pyroxene and…

Threshold Collision-Induced Dissociation of Hydrogen-Bonded Dimers of Carboxylic Acids
Energy-resolved competitive collision-induced dissociation is used to investigate the proton-bound heterodimer anions of a series of carboxylic acids (formic, acetic, and benzoic acid) and nitrous acid with their conjugate bases.

Comparing Three Approaches To Preparing Teachers To Teach For Deep Understanding In Earth Science: Short-Term Impacts On Teachers And Teaching Practice
This study used an experimental design to compare the efficacy of three different approaches to professional development for preparing teachers to implement curriculum units aimed at teaching for deep conceptual…

A Multi-Sensor Model to Improve Automated Attack Detection
In this paper we investigate how to use the alerts from several audit sources to improve the accuracy of the intrusion detection system (IDS). Concentrating on web server attacks, we…
-
A Process Catalog for Workflow Generation
This paper describes PROCAT, an implemented ontology-based catalog for components, built on a layered representation that allows reasoning about processes at varying levels of abstraction, from qualitative constraints reflecting preconditions and…

The Hidden Permutation Model and Location-Based Activity Recognition
Abstract Permutation modeling is challenging because of the combinatorial nature of the problem. However, such modeling isoften required in many real-world applications, including activity recognition where subactivities are often permuted…
