May 20, 2024
Author(s)
Michael F. Link, Rileigh Robertson, Andrew Shore, Behrang Hamadani, Christina Cecelski, Dustin Poppendieck
Devices using 222 nm germicidal ultraviolet light (GUV222) have been marketed to reduce virus transmission indoors with low risk of occupant harm from direct UV exposure. GUV222 generates ozone, an indoor air pollutant and oxidant, under constrained

CCQM_Retrospectoscope Reference Manual: A detailed reference to the CCQM_Retrospectoscope, a suite of graphical tools for the meta-analysis of measurement results from CCQM studies

September 12, 2023
Author(s)
David L. Duewer, Michael Nelson, Christina Cecelski
The CCQM_Retrospectoscope system combines a nominally complete database of results from Consultative Committee for the Amount of Substance: Metrology in Chemistry and Biology (CCQM) studies with a number of graphical tools for trying to make sense of the

The need for multicomponent gas standards for breath biomarker analysis

July 7, 2022
Author(s)
Kavita Jeerage, Jennifer Berry, Jacolin Murray, Cassie Goodman, Paulina Piotrowski, Christina Jones, Christina Cecelski, Jennifer Carney, Katrice Lippa, Tara Lovestead
Exhaled breath is a non-invasive, information-rich matrix with the potential to diagnose or monitor disease, including infectious disease. Despite significant effort dedicated to biomarker identification in case control studies, very few breath tests are

Errors-in-variables calibration with dark uncertainty

June 16, 2022
Author(s)
Christina Cecelski, Blaza Toman, Fong-Ha Liu, Juris Meija, Antonio Possolo
A model for errors-in-variables regression is described that can be used to overcome the challenge posed by mutually inconsistent calibration data. The model and its implementation are illustrated in applications to the measurement of the amount fraction

September 27, 2021
Author(s)
Christina Cecelski, George C. Rhoderick, Joseph T. Hodges, Antonio Possolo, Olaf Wilke
The growing awareness of climate change, and continuing concerns regarding tropospheric and stratospheric chemistry, will require future measurements and standards for compounds linked to these issues. To globally monitor and control the emissions of these

May 17, 2021
Author(s)
Christina Cecelski, Cassie Goodman, Jennifer Carney
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conducted a blind audit of EPA protocol calibration gas mixtures produced by specialty gas manufactures. The objective was to determine the amount-of-substance fraction (concentration) of the analytes in the
