Yufei Li, Thuc Mai, Mohammed Karaki, Evan Jasper, Kevin Garrity, Chase Lyon, Daniel Shaw, Timmothy DeLazzer, Adam Biacchi, Rebecca Dally, Daniel Heligman, Jared Gdanski, Tehseen Adel, Maria Munoz, Alex Giovannone, Amit Pawbake, Clement Faugeras, Jeffrey Simpson, Kate Ross, Nandini Trivedi, Yuanming Lu, Angela R. Hight Walker, Rolando Valdes Aguilar
In magnetically ordered materials with localized electrons, it has been known for a long time [1–3] that the fundamental interactions are due to exchange of electrons. In most cases only the interaction between pairs of spins in neighboring atoms is taken

Ensuring accuracy in the development and application of nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) for infectious disease

May 20, 2024
Author(s)
Jim Huggett, Denise O'Sullivan, Simon Cowen, Megan Cleveland, Jacob Moran-Gilad, Amanda Winter, Michael Messenger, Julian Braybrook
Diagnostic tests were heralded as crucial during the COVID-19 pandemic with most of the key methods using bioanalytical approaches. Bioanalytical techniques can be loosely described as methods that identify and quantify larger molecules (than conventional

Fiscal Year 2023 Cybersecurity and Privacy Annual Report

May 20, 2024
Author(s)
Patrick D. O'Reilly, Kristina Rigopoulos
During Fiscal Year 2023 (FY 2023) – from October 1, 2022, through September 30, 2023 –the NIST Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) Cybersecurity and Privacy Program successfully responded to numerous challenges and opportunities in security and privacy

Mathematical Entities: Corpora and Benchmarks

May 20, 2024
Author(s)
Jacob Collard, Valeria de Paiva, Eswaran Subrahmanian
Mathematics is a highly specialized domain with its own unique set of challenges. Despite this, there has been relatively little research on natural language processing for mathematical texts, and there are few mathematical language resources aimed at NLP
