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).

The National Institute of Standards and Technology, as part of its report on the collapse of the World Trade Center, characterized many important steels recovered from the buildings to provide stress-strain models to analyze the impact, fires, and resulting collapse. Those tests represent a large additional data set that can be used for modeling the response of steel structures to fire.

Between 1922 and 1940, the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) conducted a long-term investigation into the corrosion of bare steel and iron, pipes buried underground at 47 sites representing different soil types in the United States. Following the passage of the 2004 Pipeline Safety Improvement Act, the Department of Transportation's Office of Pipeline Safety requested that NIST review and reanalyze the data from the NBS study using modern statistical analysis tools. For this analysis, NIST compiled an updated database from the data in the publications by K. H. Logan (i.e.
