Standards Development to Ensure Reliable Breath Analysis in the Field

Ongoing
Numerous volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been identified in human breath. These compounds can be produced by the body or by organisms in the body (e.g., bacteria or viruses) and provide a non-invasive window into human health. Inexpensive point-of-care devices are being developed to diagnose

Surrogate Gas Prediction Model

Ongoing
DESCRIPTION: Since fossil fuels are devoid of 14C, the measured 14C ratio of atmospheric CO 2 (expressed as Delta-C) is the gold standard measurement to determine the fossil fuel enhancement, C ff, to any atmospheric CO 2 measurement. With enough Delta-C measurements, independent, "top-down"

Experimental Evaluation of Large-Scale Parallel Measurement Systems

Ongoing
DESCRIPTION: An archetype among biological experiments is gene-by-gene determination of the expression difference between two groups of biological units. For each gene, the experiment yields a data set consisting of one or more expression values for each unit. Gene to gene, these data sets can be

Cement Characteristics by Direct Phase Assessment

Ongoing
DESCRIPTION: The major research goal is the accurate prediction of field performance metrics from accurate characterization of mineralogical composition and texture. Compounding characterization and prediction problems is the widespread reliance since the 1930's on the Bogue estimates of composition
