As robotic devices are applied to problems beyond traditional manufacturing and industrial
settings, we find that interaction between robots and humans, especially physical interaction, …

… In the first experiment characterizing dendritic morphology following chronic nicotine
exposure during the adolescent period, McDonald et al. (2005) dosed rats continuously via …

We investigate how market participants possessing varying degrees of anonymity reduce
asymmetric information costs in an electronic auction market using a quantifiable measure of …

While performing a visuo-motor task under incrementally-varied levels of difficulty, individuals
were probed with a variety of novel, task-irrelevant, auditory stimuli. To determine the effect …

Background: Statin-related myalgia is difficult to distinguish from other conditions causing
myalgia and may often lead to statin discontinuation. Objective: To compare the effect of statin …

To perform useful tasks in everyday human environments, robots must be able to both
understand and communicate the sensations they experience during haptic interactions with …

Delivering on the promise of real-world robotics will require robots that can communicate with
humans through natural language by learning new words and concepts through their daily …

We examined the acute rewarding as well as the long-term psychomotor altering effects of
nicotine in early adolescent and adult male Sprague-Dawley rats. Place conditioning was …

Excessive increases in task difficulty typically result in marked attenuation of cognitive-motor
performance. The psychomotor efficiency hypothesis suggests that poor performance is …

Impaired cognitive control has been proposed as a hallmark of nicotine dependence and is
thought to arise, in part, from synaptic alterations in anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), a …
