We Need Both Exploratory and Confirmatory
Abstract We often forget how science and engineering function. Ideas come from previous exploration more often than from lightning strokes. Important questions can demand the mo...

Nebular emission from star-forming galaxies
We present a new model for computing consistently the line and continuum\nemission from galaxies, based on a combination of recent population synthesis\nand photoionization code...
Gaussian Lobe Function Expansions of Hartree—Fock Solutions for the First-Row Atoms and Ethylene
Gaussian expansions of ground-state Hartree—Fock solutions for the first-row atoms are determined by a self-consistent-field minimization of atomic energies. Wavefunctions are c...
Efficient and accurate expansion methods for molecules in local density models
The effects of truncation of the effective Hamiltonian of local density theory through shape approximations to the molecular charge density are examined. A self-consistent multi...
On the permanence of stored information in the human brain.
Many people believe that information that is stored in long-term memory is permanent, citing examples of techniques that are alleged to uncover previously forgotten information...
A new computational approach to Slater’s SCF–<i>X</i>α equation
A new computational scheme is presented for the performance of LCAO−MO calculations in the SCF−Xα model. The scheme is intended to be applicable for large systems and to be more...
Enabling a robust scalable manufacturing process for therapeutic exosomes through oncogenic immortalization of human ESC-derived MSCs
Abstract Background Exosomes or secreted bi-lipid vesicles from human ESC-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hESC-MSCs) have been shown to reduce myocardial ischemia/reperfusion in...
Self-Consistent Procedures for Generalized Valence Bond Wavefunctions. Applications H3, BH, H2O, C2H6, and O2
Methods of efficiently optimizing the orbitals of generalized valence bond (GVB) wavefunctions are discussed and applied to LiH, BH, H3, H2O, C6H6, and O2. The strong orthogonal...
Recent trends in breast cancer incidence rates by age and tumor characteristics among U.S. women
Abstract Introduction A recent abstract presented in a breast cancer symposium attributed the sharp decrease in female breast cancer incidence rates from 2002 to 2003 in the Sur...
A Role for the Wnt Gene Family in Hematopoiesis: Expansion of Multilineage Progenitor Cells
Abstract The microenvironment is a key regulator of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and is a likely source of extracellular factors that control stem cell fate. A better underst...
Effects of 6 weeks of therapy with oral doses of ICI 204,219, a leukotriene D4 receptor antagonist, in subjects with bronchial asthma. ACCOLATE Asthma Trialists Group.
The efficacy of 6 wk of therapy with oral ICI 204,219, a selective leukotriene D4 (LTD4) receptor antagonist, was evaluated in subjects with moderate asthma during a multicenter...
Teaching thinking skills.
A course was developed to teach cognitive skills that apply to learning and intellectual performance independently of subject matter, stressing observation and classification, r...
