The National Cancer Institute (NCI) issued a Request for Information (RFI) in October 2022, soliciting input on using and reusing metabolomics data. This RFI aimed to seek input on best practices for metabolomics data storage, management, and use/reuse. In

Estimations of Photopheresis and Thermophoresis Impacts on Soot Particle Velocity

March 12, 2024
Author(s)
Emma Veley, Amy Mensch, Ryan Falkenstein-Smith, Thomas Cleary
The dissemination of soot particles onto surfaces in a compartment fire is affected by local radiation and temperature gradients. Subsequently, any deposition model must account for the influence of photopheresis and thermophoresis on the deposition

Explainable Classification Techniques for Quantum Dot Device Measurements

Author(s)
Daniel Schug, Tyler Kovach, Jared Benson, Mark Eriksson, Justyna Zwolak
In the physical sciences, there is an increased need for robust feature representations of image data: image acquisition, in the generalized sense of two-dimensional data, is now widespread across a large number of fields, including quantum information

Impact of the Amphoteric Nature of a Chelating Surfactant on its Interaction with an Anionic Surfactant: A Surface Tension and Neutron Reflectivity Study of Binary Mixed Solutions

March 12, 2024
Author(s)
Ida Svanedal, Hakan Edlund, Magnus Norgren, Sushil Satija, Adrian Rennie
2-Dodecyldiethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (C12-DTPA) is a chelating, amphoteric surfactant with a bulky headgroup containing eight pH-responsive groups. The hypothesis was that the amphoteric nature of the chelating surfactant would affect the

Author(s)
Medhavi Kamran, Snehesh Shrestha, Arnav Juneja, Shelly Bagchi, Jeremy Marvel, Megan Zimmerman, Vinh Nguyen
Collaborative robot tasks in manufacturing often involve manually placing and recording the robot in various positions throughout the intended task. However, existing methods for programming robot have been shown to cause physical strain and confusion for

Reorientational Dynamics in Y(BH4)3:xNH3 (x = 0, 3 and 7): The Impact of NH3 on BH4- Dynamics

March 9, 2024
