In this article, we provide a brief overview of generative artificial intelligence and large language models. We then propose eight critical questions that libraries should ask when exploring this technology and its implications for their communities. We argue that libraries have a unique role in facilitating informed and responsible use...
This data provides observations and measurements used to answer questions of interest regarding how driver behavior is affected by various removal methods used on roadway markings titled “SPR 855 - Removing Residual Lane Markings to Reduce Driver Confusion.” Data includes measurements from the laboratory portion of the study which gathered...
In this report, we present future projections of climate and climate-related natural hazards in Benton County for the 2020s (2010–2039) and 2050s (2040–2069) relative to the 1971–2000 historical baseline. The projections are based on multiple global climate models for both a lower greenhouse gas emissions scenario (RCP 4.5) and a...
Studies of Hawaiian volcanoes contribute valuable insights about Earth processes and mantle evolution, and are fundamental for understanding the construction of the largest volcanoes on terrestrial planets. The pre-shield stage exists in every Hawaiian volcano, but is usually blanketed by high volume tholeiitic lava flows during the main shield stage....
Suicide is a leading cause of death amongst adolescents, and transgender and gender diverse youth are at especially high risk for suicidal ideation and attempt compared with cisgender peers. Using established ideation-to-action models of suicide and the Minority Stress Model, this project used the 2019 results of the Oregon Healthy...
Caesar is an interactive graphic editor that is used to generate layouts for VLSI circuits. It runs on a VAX-11 /780 under the UNIX operating system with Berkeley extensions. Caesar has a unique and simple user interface. Phled is an enhanced version of Caesar that runs on a M68000-based engineering...
The major obstacle to widespread parallel programming of multiprocessors is the lack of a convenient parallel programming system. PPSE (Parallel Programming Support Environment) is a unified approach to parallel programming. Parallax is developed as a component of PPSE based on ELGDF which is a graphical language for designing parallel programs....
Multimedia networking is one of the most exciting developments in today's Internet. Streaming technology; which allows the player to start playing audio/video data immediately instead of waiting for the entire file to be downloaded, presents an attractive vehicle for the distribution of multimedia content over the Internet. However, transmitting real-time...
"What’s wrong with this AI?" Explainable AI (XAI) researchers are moving beyond explaining an AI’s actions, to helping users detect an AI’s failures. However this detection may not be enough—for actionability, we often need to pinpoint which part failed. We investigate how AAR/AI, a structured assessment process, supports users with...
