Extending Explainable Boosting Machines to Scientific Image Data

November 30, 2023
Author(s)
Daniel Schug, Sai Yerramreddy, Rich Caruana, Craig Greenberg, Justyna Zwolak
As the deployment of computer vision technology becomes increasingly common in science, the need for explanations of the system and its output has become a focus of great concern. Driven by the pressing need for interpretable models in science, we propose

2024 Laws Interim Analysis

November 29, 2023
Author(s)
Lisa Warfield, John McGuire
The NIST OWM Analysis is submitted to assist the Weights and Measures community as it deliberates on items before the Conference. NIST OWM offers these comments and recommendations based on information and input available as of the date of this report

Microplastics absent from reef fish in the Marshall Islands: Multistage screening methods reduced false positives

November 29, 2023
Author(s)
Katherine Shaw, Jonathan Whitney, Eileen Nalley, Madeline Schmidbauer, Megan Donahue, Jesse Black, Raquel Corniuk, Kellie Teague, Catherine Pirkle, Rachel Dacks, Max Sudnovsky, Jennifer Lynch
Island communities, like the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), depend on marine resources for food and economics, so plastic ingestion by those resources is a concern. The gastrointestinal tracts of nine species of reef fish across five trophic

Powder Spreading Testbed for Studying the Powder Spreading Process in Powder Bed Fusion Machines

November 29, 2023
Author(s)
Justin Whiting, Eric Whitenton, Aniruddha Das, Vipin Tondare, Jason Fox, Michael McGlauflin, Alkan Donmez, Shawn P. Moylan
The spreading of powder is an integral part of powder bed fusion-based additive manufacturing technologies; however, due to the complex nature and the number of interactions between particles, studying the powder spreading process is difficult. In order to

An Improved Sample Preparation Method for Protein and Peptide Identification from Human Hair

November 27, 2023
Author(s)
Zheng Zhang, William E. Wallace, Guanghui Wang, Meghan Burke Harris, Yi Liu, Sergey Sheetlin, Stephen E. Stein
A fast and sensitive Direct Extraction (DE) method developed in our group can efficiently extract proteins in 30 min from a 5 cm-long hair strand. Previously we coupled DE to downstream analysis using gel electrophoresis followed by in-gel digestion, which

Layered Security Guidance for Data Asset Management in Additive Manufacturing

November 23, 2023
Author(s)
Fahad Milaat, Joshua Lubell
Manufacturing industries are increasingly adopting additive manufacturing (AM) technologies to produce functional parts in critical systems. However, the inherent complexity of both AM designs and AM processes render them attractive targets for cyber

Optical n(p, T_90) measurement suite 1: He, Ar, and N_2

November 23, 2023
Author(s)
Patrick Egan, Yuanchao Yang
An n(p, T90) measurement suite is reported for the gases helium, argon, and nitrogen. The methodology is optical refractive-index gas metrology, operating at laser wavelength 633 nm and covering the temperature range (293

Untargeted metabolomics analyses and contaminant chemistry of Dreissenid mussels at the Maumee River Area of Concern in the Great Lakes

November 22, 2023
Author(s)
Tracey Schock, Daniel Bearden, Fabio Casu, Michael Edwards, Annie Jacob, Edward Johnson, Amanda Bayless, Elena Legrand
Bivalves stand out as an ideal ecological indicator and have been the basis of NOAA's Mussel Watch Program to monitor environmental health. In this study, we aimed to investigate the health of the Dreissenid mussel in the Maumee River. In addition to the

An investigation into an approach for automated supply chain onboarding

November 21, 2023
Author(s)
Elena Jelisic, Nenad Ivezic, Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Perawit Charoenwut, Ana Nikolov
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought the cold chain for bio-pharmaceutical products to the spotlight. To preserve their structure and function, biopharmaceuticals such as cells, proteins and enzymes, RNA molecules, and RNA-based drugs (e.g., mRNA-based COVID

Developmental Validation of the VersaPlex(R) 27PY System

November 21, 2023
Author(s)
Kristy Lenz, Stephen McDaniel, Dawn Rabbach, Becky Steffen, Douglas Storts, Robert McLaren
The VersaPlex™ 27PY System is a short tandem repeat (STR) multiplex from Promega that co-amplifies 27 loci. This six-dye multiplex was designed for casework samples and includes loci that meet database requirements for the US (CODIS) and Europe (ESS). The

Facilitating Stakeholder Communication around AI-Enabled Systems and Business Processes

November 21, 2023
Author(s)
Edward Griffor, Matthew Bundas, Chasity Nadeau, Jeannine Shantz, Thanh Nguyen, Marcello Balduccini, Tran Son
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is often critical to the success of modern business processes. Leveraging it, however, is non-trivial. A major hurdle is communication: discussing system requirements among stakeholders with different backgrounds and goals

Knowledge Management for Data Analytics in Additive Manufacturing

November 21, 2023
Author(s)
Yeun Park, Paul Witherell, Albert T. Jones, Hyunbo Cho
As a multi-staged digital manufacturing process, Additive manufacturing (AM) inherently benefits from data analytics (DA) decision-making opportunities. The abundance of data associated with the various observations and measurements taken throughout the
