We present field deployment results of a portable optical absorption spectrometer for localization and quantification of fugitive methane (CH) emissions. Our near-infrared sensor targets the 2ν R(4) CH transition at 6057.1 cm (1651 nm) via line-scanned tunable diode-laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS), with Allan deviation analysis yielding a normalized 2.0 ppmv∙Hz sensitivity (4.5 × 10 Hz noise-equivalent absorption) over 5 cm open-path length. Controlled CH leak experiments are performed at the METEC CSU engineering facility, where concurrent deployment of our TDLAS and a customized volatile organic compound (VOC) sensor demonstrates good linear correlation (R = 0.74) over high-flow (>60 SCFH) CH releases spanning 4.4 h. In conjunction with simultaneous wind velocity measurements, the leak angle-of-arrival (AOA) is ascertained via correlation of CH concentration and wind angle, demonstrating the efficacy of single-sensor line-of-sight (LOS) determination of leak sources. Source magnitude estimation based on a Gaussian plume model is demonstrated, with good correspondence (R = 0.74) between calculated and measured release rates.

Introduction: The Flow Re-direction Endoluminal Device (FRED) is a novel flow diverter with a unique double stent design, with an inner stent composed of 48 nitinol wires, and an outer stent with 16 nitinol wires. It is designed for endovascular cerebral aneurysm treatment, although, limited data exist regarding in-stent stenosis (ISS) rates associated with FRED devices.
Methods: A registry encompassing two North American comprehensive stroke centers was the base of this study.

Large language models (LLMs), with their remarkable generative capacities, have greatly impacted a range of fields, but they face scalability challenges due to their large parameter counts, which result in high costs for training and inference. The trend of increasing model sizes is exacerbating these challenges, particularly in terms of memory footprint, latency and energy consumption. Here we explore the deployment of 'mixture of experts' (MoEs) networks-networks that use conditional computing to keep computational demands low despite having many parameters-on three-dimensional (3D) non-volatile memory (NVM)-based analog in-memory computing (AIMC) hardware.

Efficient identification of the flocculation state of waste drilling fluid remains a significant challenge. This study proposes an improved You Only Look Once version 8 nano-algorithm (YOLOv8n), specifically optimized for real-time monitoring of drilling fluid flocculation under field conditions. The algorithm employs MobileNetV3 as the backbone network to minimize memory usage, improve detection speed, and reduce computational requirements.
