Hewlett-Packard (HP) is one of the world's largest computer companies and the foremost producer of test and measurement instruments. In Corvallis, Oregon, HP manufactures several precision products on high speed, automated assembly lines. The alignment process of a cap to a base part is one of the essential processes in...
Seven species of microorganisms indigenous to fish were inoculated into sterile fish muscle, obtained from Sebastodes alutus and Sebastalobus alascanus, and the production of total volatile acids (TVA) and total volatile bases (TVB) was determined during storage at 1 C. No production of TVA and TVB was noted in sterile...
The California Current Ecosystem (CCE) is a dynamic marine ecosystem from which many socioeconomically important fisheries species are harvested. Here, a genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) approach was used to examine genomic variation in an early life stage (megalopae) of the Dungeness crab (Cancer magister), which constitutes the most valuable single-species commercial fishery...
Using supervised machine learning (ML) to train a computer vision model typically requires human annotators to label objects in images and video. Given a large training dataset, this can be labor intensive, presenting a significant bottleneck in the model-development process. LabelFlicks is an open-source desktop application that aims to address...
Crops were grown at the experimental farms using accepted cultural practices within the limits of experimentation or trials were conducted on growers' fields. Most experiments were designed as randomized complete blocks with two to five replications. H8rbicide treatments were applied uniformly with equipment ranging from precision plot sprayers to quart...
RF data-driven device fingerprinting through the use of deep learning has recently surfaced as a possible method for secure device identification and authentication. Traditional approaches are commonly susceptible to the domain adaptation problem where a model trained on data from one domain performs badly when tested on data from a...
Question Answering in natural language processing has achieved significant progress in recent years. Yet, training and testing set methodology to evaluate the language models has proved inadequate. Adversarial examples aid us in finding loopholes inside these models and provide insights into their inner workings. In this work, an evaluation based...
Future quantum technologies will require high-efficiency, on-demand sources of entangled photons. A possible route to building such light sources employs two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors interfaced with a source of Cooper pairs. To investigate the possibility of such devices, we are testing methods to make high transparency n-type contacts, p-type contacts, and...
