This folder contains image data sets from 14 separate serial sectioning sessions. The entire data folder consists of 1379 8 bit tif images and is 47.3 GB in size. Serial sectioning was performed using FEI Helios 660 NanoLab focused ion beam scanning electron microscope (FIB SEM) and Auto Slice and View G3 software. The sample was a heavy metal stained and resin embedded Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) that were exposed to 60 nm Au nanoparticles. Detailed descriptions of the worm preparation and resin block processing are described in Johnson, M.E. et al. (ACS Nano, 2016).

A comparison of the expanded uncertainty for certified values of iodine in food matrix CRMs. The CRMS were found by searching The European Virtual Institute for Speciation Analysis (EVISA) database using the terms "Iodine" and "Certified" in the Material category. The uncertainties are expanded uncertainties at approximately 95% confidence.

The Micronutrients Measurement Quality Assurance Program (MMQAP) was coordinated by the Chemical Sciences Division and supported measurement technology for selected fat- and water-soluble vitamins and carotenoids in human serum. This program was initiated in 1984 by the National Cancer Institute Division of Cancer Prevention and Control to ensure the long-term reliability of the measurements made while studying the possible cancer chemoprevention roles of these compounds.

We have applied 3D shape-based retrieval to various disciplines such as computer vision, CAD/CAM, computer graphics, molecular biology and 3D anthropometry. We have organized two workshops on 3D shape retrieval and two shape retrieval contests. We also have developed 3D shape benchmarks, performance evaluation software and prototype 3D retrieval systems. We have developed a robotic map quality assessment tool in collaboration with MEL) We also have developed different shape descriptors to represent 3D human bodies and heads efficiently and other work related to 3D anthropometry.

The NIST DART-MS Forensics Database is an evaluated collection of in-source collisionally-induced dissociation (is-CID) mass spectra of compounds of interest to the forensics community (e.g. seized drugs, cutting agents, etc.). The is-CID mass spectra were collected using Direct Analysis in Real-Time (DART) Mass Spectrometry (MS), either by NIST scientists or by contributing agencies noted per compound. The database is provided as a general-purpose structure data file (.SDF).

These four data files contain datasets from an interlaboratory comparison that characterized a polydisperse five-population bead dispersion in water. A more detailed version of this description is available in the ReadMe file (PdP-ILC_datasets_ReadMe_v1.txt), which also includes definitions of abbreviations used in the data files. Paired samples were evaluated, so the datasets are organized as pairs associated with a randomly assigned laboratory number.

Interlaboratory data from assessments of SRMs and other method comparison samples

SRM 1546a Meat Homogenate - This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended primarily for validation of methods for determining fatty acids, cholesterol, proximates, calories, elements, vitamins, and amino acids in canned meat products and similar materials. This SRM can also be used for quality assurance when assigning values to in-house reference materials. The meat homogenate is a mixture of pork and chicken products blended together in a commercial process. A unit of SRM 1546a consists of four cans, each containing approximately 85 g of material.

SRM 1849a Infant/Adult Nutritional Formula - This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended primarily for validation of methods for determining proximates, fatty acids, cholesterol, vitamins, elements, amino acids, and nucleotides in infant and adult nutritional formulas and similar materials. This SRM can also be used for quality assurance when assigning values to in-house reference materials. The SRM is a milk-based, hybrid infant/adult nutritional powder prepared by a manufacturer of infant formula and adult nutritional products.

SRM 1950 Metabolites in Frozen Human Plasma - This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended primarily for validation of methods for determining metabolites such as fatty acids, electrolytes, vitamins, hormones, and amino acids in human plasma and similar materials. This SRM can also be used for comparison of measurement technologies used in metabolomic studies and for quality assurance when assigning values to in-house reference materials. This SRM is intended to represent "normal" human plasma.
