We introduce the Million Song Dataset, a freely-available collection of audio features and metadata for a million contemporary popular music tracks. We describe its creation process, its content, and its possible uses. Attractive features of the Million Song Database include the range of existing resources to which it is linked, and the fact that it is the largest current research dataset in ou...

Thirty-six years ago, I was the first Cobra Pilot to shake the hand of a surviving Cobra Pilot who lost his tail rotor assembly while on a Hunter-Killer mission in South Vietnam. It was a hot, humid day at Quan Loi. I was an in-country trained Cobra maintenance officer for A Troop 3/ 17 Air Cav and Operation Lam Son 719 had been underway for weeks. The siren went off, which meant one of our Hel...

Web 2.0 users engage in collaborative activities. Many 2.0 websites allow their users to associate words (a.k.a. tags) with the users’ own and with other users’ content. The result is an additional layer with descriptions of web resources. The created associations between tag sets and web resources are used to facilitate social navigation, individual resource re-finding, defining communities of...

A novel optical biosensor based on simultaneous multiwave length detection surface plasmon resonance (SPR) has been developed for immunosensing. The sensor is designed on the basis of fixing angle of incidence and measuring the reflected intensities of light in the wavelength range of 400–800 nm. The SPR spectra are shown in terms of reflected light intensity verus wavelength of incident light....

The deregulation of miR-101 has been implicated in multiple cancer types including lung cancer, but the exact role, mechanisms and how silencing of miR-101 remain elusive. Here we confirmed miR-101 downregulation in lung cancer cell lines and patient tissues. Restored miR-101 expression remarkably sensitized lung cancer cells to chemotherapy and inhibited invasion. Mechanistically, we indicated...

A very high catalytic activity in the cyanosilylation reaction was observed for MIL-101, a chromium based metal-organic framework; moreover, MIL-101 is also a remarkably stable support for palladium in hydrogenation reactions, with significantly higher activity than e.g. palladium on activated carbon.

In an effort to unify grading standards, as much as possible, among our diverse 101 faculty, I’ve borrowed some language from Douglas Hesse and William Irmscher to develop the following. Please consider distributing these criteria to your students, and, if you’d like an electronic copy that you can cut-n-paste into your syllabus, email me at [email protected]. You might also find some of this lang...
