In an ongoing series of field experiments, the Ames Marsokhod rover is deployed to remote locations and operated by scientists in simulated planetary explorations. These experiments provide insight both for scientists preparing for real planetary surface exploration and for robotics researchers. In this paper we will provide an overview of our work with the Marsokhod, describe the various subsy...

The characterization of chemical compounds based on their molecular graphs is an important task for identifying properties such as toxicity or mutagenicity. We used different groups of topological descriptors using the AMES mutagenicity data. Instead of optimizing the classification performance, the aim of this study is to perform a structural analysis of the underlying set of molecular graphs ...

This study reviews the form of the ISO’s DC Optimal Power Flow (OPF) problem in the AMES wholesale power market testbed.

aminobutyric acid in amino acid position 2 of the molecule. In animnig CyG retains the immunosuppressive properties of CyA but is less nephrotoxic (Hiestand et al., Transplant Proc 1985;17:1362-4; Caine et al., Lancet 1985i:1342). Future studies in humans are planned but a method for quantifying CyG is required. We assessed a radioimmunoassay for CrG in plammi, using CyG standards, CyA antibody...
