(B) Multi-elemental analysis by X-ray fluorescence. (use in Art, Archeology and environmental science)(1 week). The advent of inexpensive high-resolution X-ray spectrometers based on thermoelectrically cooled Si-PIN diodes has opened the possibility of many innovative experiments in analytical chemistry with many applications in art and archeology, environmental monitoring, nuclear medicine, to...

Machine Reading at the University of Washington

Machine reading is a long-standing goal of AI and NLP. In recent years, tremendous progress has been made in developing machine learning approaches for many of its subtasks such as parsing, information extraction, and question answering. However, existing end-to-end solutions typically require substantial amount of human efforts (e.g., labeled data and/or manual engineering), and are not well p...

Geomicrobiology of high-level nuclear waste-contaminated vadose sediments at the hanford site, washington state.

Sediments from a high-level nuclear waste plume were collected as part of investigations to evaluate the potential fate and migration of contaminants in the subsurface. The plume originated from a leak that occurred in 1962 from a waste tank consisting of high concentrations of alkali, nitrate, aluminate, Cr(VI), (137)Cs, and (99)Tc. Investigations were initiated to determine the distribution o...
