Compromised Frontocerebellar Circuitry Contributes to Nonplanning Impulsivity in Recovering Alcoholics
We tested the hypothesis that alcoholic patients would demonstrate compromised dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) -cerebellar functional connectivity when adjusting their strategies to accommodate uncertain conditions and would recruit compensatory…

Taking Stock of the California Linked Learning District Initiative: Fifth-Year Evaluation Report Executive Summary
New results from an ongoing, rigorous evaluation of the Linked Learning District Initiative show promising student outcomes.

Prophylactic treatment with a novel bioadhesive gel formulation containing aciclovir and tenofovir protects from HSV-2 infection
Over-the-counter access to an inexpensive, effective topical microbicide could reduce the transmission of HIV and would increase women’s control over their health and eliminate the need to obtain their partners’…

Curriculum Materials Make a Difference for Next Generation Science Learning: Results from Year 1 of a Randomized Controlled Trial (Updated December 2014)
In the study, middle school science teachers who used curriculum materials that presented opportunities for students to engage in science practices improved their students’ performance on next generation science assessments.

HTLV-1-Infected CD4+ T-Cells Display Alternative Exon Usages That Culminate in Adult T-Cell Leukemia
We hypothesized that besides quantitative transcriptional effects, HTLV-1 qualitatively modifies the pattern of cellular gene expression.

Conservative Groupoids Recognize Only Regular Languages
The notion of recognition of a language by a finite semigroup can be generalized to recognition by finite groupoids, i.e. sets equipped with a binary operation ‘⋅’ which is not…

Bilingual Recurrent Neural Networks for Improved Statistical Machine Translation
In SMT, we investigate using bilingual word-aligned sentences to train a bilingual recurrent neural network model.

Comparative Analysis of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning Requirements across a Range of Life Sciences Textbooks
(Previously) we showed that embedding the knowledge representation and question-answering abilities in an electronic textbook helped to engage student interest and improve learning. A natural question that arises from this…

Direct Measurement of Lower Thermospheric Neutral Density Using Multifrequency Incoherent Scattering
We demonstrate that multifrequency measurements to achieve diversity in k can allow for direct inference of the composition-weighted ion-neutral collision frequency in the upper mesosphere and lower thermosphere.
