What types of testing occur within a construction and engineering laboratory?

The safety, quality, and suitability of construction materials for a given construction task is paramount, and this is better ensured with lab testing. Not only are fasteners, lumber, and adhesives tested, but also the underlying soil and rock of a construction site. A wide range of materials (e.g., wood, iron, concrete, shingles) are tested using standardized test methods, measuring properties such as tensile strength, water penetration, and impact resistance.

03/18/2024 - Hierarchical AI enables global interpretation of culture plates in the era of digital microbiology

In this 2023 paper published in Nature Communications, Signoroni et al. present the results of their efforts towards a system designed for "the global interpretation of diagnostic bacterial culture plates" using deep learning architecture. Noting the many challenges of human-based culture interpretation, the authors present the results of DeepColony," a hierarchical multi-network capable of handling all identification, quantitation, and interpretation stages, from the single colony to the whole plate level." After reviewing the results, the authors conclude that given the "high level of agreement" between DeepColony's results and the interpretation of humans, their system holds significant promise. They add that DeepColony can be viewed as "a unique framework for improving the efficiency and quality of massive routine activities and high-volume decisional procedures in a microbiological laboratory, with great potential to refine and reinforce the critical role of the microbiologist."
