Abstract The Inner Shell Spectroscopy (ISS) beamline on the 8-ID station at the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II), Upton, NY, USA, is a high throughput X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy beamline designed for the in situ, operando, and time

Time-gated Raman spectroscopy of recovered plastics

July 1, 2022
Author(s)
Anthony Kotula, Sara Orski, Kayla Brignac, Jennifer Lynch, Bryan Heilala
Raman spectroscopy is a powerful non-destructive technique for the identification and characterization of plastics. The technique often has limited use due to fluorescence emission, which often occurs in polymer samples containing colorants or that have

Computational Study of the Allosteric Effects of p5 on the CDK5-p25 Hyperactivity as Alternative Inhibitory Mechanisms in Neurodegeneration

The 105th Annual Meeting of the National Conference on Weights and Measures (NCWM) was held virtually July 12 - 16, 2020. The 106th Annual Meeting of the National Conference on Weights and Measures (NCWM) was held July 18 - 23, 2021, at the Hyatt Regency

Segmentation of Additive Manufacturing Defects Using U-Net

June 30, 2022
Author(s)
Vivian W. Wong, Max Ferguson, Kincho Law, Yung-Tsun Lee, Paul Witherell
Additive manufacturing (AM) provides design flexibility and allows rapid fabrications of parts with complex geometries. The presence of internal defects, however, can lead to the deficit performance of the fabricated part. X-ray computed tomography (XCT)
