National validation study of a cellulose sponge wipe-processing method for use after sampling Bacillus anthracis spores from surfaces.
This work was initiated to address the gaps identified by Congress regarding validated biothreat environmental sampling and processing methods. Nine Laboratory Response Network-affiliated laboratories participated in a validation study of a cellulose sponge wipe-processing protocol for the recovery, detection, and quantification of viable Bacillus anthracis Sterne spores from steel surfaces. St...
متن کاملStandardized Method for Measuring Collection Efficiency from Wipe-sampling of Trace Explosives
One of the limiting steps to detecting traces of explosives at screening venues is effective collection of the sample. Wipe-sampling is the most common procedure for collecting traces of explosives, and standardized measurements of collection efficiency are needed to evaluate and optimize sampling protocols. The approach described here is designed to provide this measurement infrastructure, and...
متن کاملFalse negative rate in cervical cytology.
All women in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, with a histological diagnosis of severe dysplasia, or carcinoma in situ, or invasive carcinoma were investigated to see whether they had participated in a population screening programme. Within two years of diagnosis of a negative cervical smear, 45 women were found to have histologically confirmed severe epithelial abnormality of the cervix. From the sam...
متن کاملNegative-Sampling Word-Embedding Method
The word2vec software of Tomas Mikolov and colleagues has gained a lot of traction lately, and provides state-of-the-art word embeddings. The learning models behind the software are described in two research papers [1, 2]. We found the description of the models in these papers to be somewhat cryptic and hard to follow. While the motivations and presentation may be obvious to the neural-networks...
متن کاملRate distortion performance analysis of nested sampling and coprime sampling
In this paper, rate distortion performance of nested sampling and coprime sampling is studied. It is shown that with the increasing of distortion, the data rate decreases. With these two sparse sampling algorithms, the data rate is proved to be much less than that without sparse sampling. With the increasing of sampling spacings, the data rate decreases at certain distortion, which is because w...
