Mary Frances Theofanos, Yee-Yin Choong, Theodore Jensen
As artificial intelligence (AI) systems continue to be developed, humans will increasingly participate in human-AI interactions. Humans interact with AI systems to achieve particular goals. To ensure that AI systems contribute positively to human-AI

Certification Approaches for Weigh-In-Motion Systems in Law Enforcement Applications

March 26, 2024
Author(s)
Katrice Lippa, Jan Konijnenburg, Loren Minnich, Tanvi Pandya, James Willis
Every day, overweight and excessively heavy vehicles cause damage to roads, bridges, and other vehicle-based infrastructure. To protect this vital transportation infrastructure for the U.S., states have imposed weight limits for commercial and fleet

Pivotal Roles of Triple Screening-Topological, Electrostatic, and Hydrodynamic-On Dynamics in Semidilute Polyelectrolyte Solutions

March 26, 2024
Author(s)
Rajeev Kumar, Ali Slim, Antonio Faraone, Jan-Michael Carrillo, Ryan Poling-Skutvik, Murugappan Muthukumar, Amanda Marciel, Jacinta Conrad
For semidilute polyelectrolyte solutions, it is generally assumed that topological, electrostatic, and hydrodynamic interactions are screened (called triple screening). Despite a large body of research focused on polyelectrolyte solutions, the concept of

A Four-Grating Interferometer for X-Ray Multi-Contrast Imaging

March 24, 2024
Author(s)
Daniel Josell, Houxun Miao, James Williams, Jr.
Background: X-Ray multi-contrast imaging with gratings provides a practical method to detect the differential phase and dark-field contrast images in addition to the traditional X-ray absorption image in a laboratory or hospital environment. Systems have

Excited-Band Coherent Delocalization for Improved Optical Lattice Clock Performance

March 24, 2024
Author(s)
Jacob Siegel, Andrew Ludlow, Youssef Hassan, Kyle Beloy, Tanner Grogan, Chun-Chia Chen
We implement coherent delocalization as a tool for improving the two primary metrics of atomic clock performance: systematic uncertainty and instability. By decreasing atomic density with co- herent delocalization, we suppress cold-collision shifts and two

Improving the TENOR of Labeling: Re-evaluating Topic Models for Content Analysis

March 23, 2024
Author(s)
Zongxia Li, Andrew Mao, Jordan Boyd-Graber, Daniel Stephens, Emily Walpole, Alden A. Dima, Juan Fung
Topic models are a popular tool for understanding text collections, but their evaluation has been a point of contention. Automated evaluation metrics such as coherence are often used, however, their validity has been questioned for neural topic models

A case study of multi-modal, multi-institutional data management for the combinatorial materials science community

March 22, 2024
Author(s)
Sarah Allec, Eric Muckley, Nathan Johnson, Christopher Borg, Dylan Kirsch, Joshua B. Martin, Ichiro Takeuchi, Andrew Lee, James Saal, Logan Ward, Apruva Mehta
Although the convergence of high-performance computing, automation, and machine learning has significantly altered the materials design timeline, transformative advances in functional materials and acceleration of their design will require addressing the

NIST Scientific Integrity Program Annual Report

March 22, 2024
Author(s)
Anne Andrews, Justyna Zwolak
This report summarizes the findings of the National Institute of Standards and Technology Scientific Integrity Program assessment of the program for the period between 1 June 2022 and 30 September 2023. It provides an assessment of the current state of the

The building of online atomic and molecular databases for astrophysics and for other research fields started with the beginning of the internet. These databases have encompassed different forms: databases of individual research groups exposing their own

Clifford-Deformed Surface Codes

March 19, 2024
Author(s)
Arpit Dua, Aleksander Kubica, Liang Jiang, Steven Flammia, Michael Gullans
Kitaev's toric/surface code and its numerous variants provide promising approaches to practi- cal quantum error correction (QEC). As recently discovered, a careful choice of the code variant and lattice layout can dramatically reduce logical error rate for
