Digitizing collections to unlock the full potential of palynology: A case study with the Smithsonian palynology collection

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Large palynological collections have been built over decades and contain vital information. However, they are often difficult to access and use effectively. What is the point of having such collections if they are not fully utilizable? To solve this problem, we digitized the Smithsonian palynological collection using both light and confocal microscopy.

A pipeline to compile expert‐verified datasets of digitised herbarium specimens for automated plant identification to accelerate taxonomy

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding and protecting plant life is essential for tackling the twin challenges of biodiversity loss and climate change. To support this, we have developed a new digital approach that helps identify plant species more quickly and accurately.

Data‐Driven Methods for Multiple and Dual Response Optimization on Operational Data Using Stochastic PRIM

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Upon establishing multiple response optimization (MRO) or dual response optimization (DRO), response surface methodology (RSM) acts as a conventional model‐driven framework for optimizing small‐sized experimental data to derive an input condition in which a decent response is expected.
