Spring Research Conference. The IMS/ASA Spring Research Conference (SRC) is an annual conference sponsored by the American Statistical Association (ASA) Section on Physical and Engineering Sciences (SPES) and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS). The goal of the SRC is to promote cross-disciplinary statistical research in engineering, science and technology. The topics broadly cover a wide range of research areas including design and analysis of experiments, uncertainty quantification, computer experiment, machine learning, quality control, reliability modeling, and statistical computing, with the applications in business, industry, environment, information technology and advanced manufacturing. The SRC also regularly has invited sessions organized by editors of the top journals including Technometrics, Journal of Quality Technology, and SIAM/ASA Journal on Uncertainty Quantification. The SRC has the tradition to support students and postdocs with scholarships to selected participants who present contributed talks or posters at the conference.

About every three or four years, the Spring Research Conference (SRC) and the Quality and Productivity Research Conference (QPRC) have a joint conference together as the Joint Research Conference (JRC). The QPRC is an annual conference sponsored by the American Statistical Association's Section on Quality and Productivity.

History
The SRC was the brainchild of  Jeff Wu and Vijay Nair. 
Its precursor was the 1992 IMS Regional Meeting-Special Topics in Industrial Statistics in Philadelphia, 
which was initiated by Jeff Wu and program co-chaired by Vijay Nair and Jeff Wu.
The inaugural conference was held in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, in June, 1994, with Dr. Rob Easterling as the program chair and Dr. Jerry Sacks as the local organizer.
The long-term welfare of the conference is handled by a conference management committee. 
The members of the first conference management committee were Drs. Vijay Nair (Chair), Jon Kettenring, Jerry Lawless, Jeff Robinson, Daryl Pregibon, and  Jeff Wu. 
The conference completed its 25th anniversary in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 2018.

Meetings During Pandemic
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the SRC 2020 was cancelled, which was originally planned to be hosted by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan from May 20-22, 2020. The SRC 2021 was cancelled again due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The SRC 2022 was organized as a virtual meeting on May 19-20, 2022. In 2023, the SRC has been back to the in-person meeting, taking place at  Banff Center on May 24-26, 2023.

States Super Monoplane. The States Super Monoplane was a tandem two seat, civil sport and trainer aircraft built in small numbers at the start of the U.S Great Depression.

Design and development

The Super Monoplane was aimed at both training clubs and private owners. It was a parasol aircraft with rectangular plan wings supported by a long V-strut on each side from the lower fuselage and by short cabane struts centrally. Frise ailerons were fitted to retain lateral control in a stall.

It was powered by versions of the five cylinder Kinner radial engine. The B-3 (the first, 1930 version of the aircraft) had a Kinner K-5 with a maximum power of  and the 1930 B-4 a  Kinner B-5. These were neatly cowled with only the tops of the cylinders and stub exhausts exposed.  There were two open cockpits in tandem, the forward one under the centre of the wing and the other, close behind but raised, was under its trailing edge where a deep, rounded cut-out improved the field of view. Though both cockpits could have flight controls, those in the forward one were removable and the instrumentation was in the rear. A large, lockable compartment was provided for luggage.

Behind the engine the fuselage was flat-sided and tapered to a conventional tail with a triangular fin and rounded rudder. Its cockpit-adjustable tailplane was mounted on top of the fuselage and wire-braced to the fin. The elevators had a deep cut-out for rudder movement.  The Super Monoplane's landing gear was also conventional but up to date, with each hub-sprung wheel on a pair of V-struts from the lower fuselage longerons. A long oleo strut to the upper fuselage acted as a shock absorber. There was a long tailskid.

The date of the Super Monoplane's first flight is not known but it was ATC-certificated by the autumn of 1930. Most small aircraft manufacturers struggled to survive in the Great Depression and States closed in 1937, having built about six of each of its two variants.

Pilot (1924 boat). The Pilot was a pilot boat built in 1924 and designed by yacht designer William Starling Burgess. She was purchased by the Boston Pilots' Association to take the place of the pilot boat Louise that was withdrawn from service in 1924. The Pilot was in service for over fifty years before she was sold in 1976. She became the longest-serving pilot boat in American history.

Construction and service 

In 1924, the Boston pilot boat Pilot was designed by yacht designer William Starling Burgess to replace the pilot-boat Louise, which was withdrawn from pilot service on December 9, 1924. The Pilot was built for the Boston Pilots' Association at the J. F. James & Son shipyard (formerly known as Tarr & James) at Essex County, Massachusetts. She was a spoon-bowed schooner equipped with a twin-screw diesel engines. Her length was 121 ft. and was 98 ft at the water line with a 25 ft. beam. She had the "No. 1" painted across her mainsail.

On October 2, 1924, the Pilot was launched at the Essex shipyard at a cost of $52,000. She was a Knockabout type boat with 100-horsepower engines.

Pilot arrived in Boston on November 19, 1924, from Gloucester, Massachusetts with Captain Murdock McLean in command. McLean supervised her construction.

On December 9, 1924, the pilot boat Pilot left Lewis Wharf in Boston, on her trial trip past Boston Light. Captain William H. Lewis commanded her during the trial trip with fifty guests.

During World War II, the Pilot worked for the United States Coast Guard, moving troop transporters, freighters, and tankers. After the war she returned to the Boston Pilots' Associations until the early 1970s.

End of service

The Pilot was sold in 1976 to Norman D. Paulsen of California to serve as a research vessel. She was sold again in 1998 and her named changed to Highlander Sea. She was sold several times and in 2015 was purchased by Miles and Alex Pincus and converted into a maritime attraction at the Brooklyn Bridge Park.

Earlier Pilot (1917)

An earlier Maryland pilot boat Pilot was hit and sunk by the Merchants and Miners Line steamer Berkshire off New York Harbor on December 17, 1917. The pilot boat got tangled in submarine net trying to enter the inner harbor and was rammed by the steamer. There were no deaths.

Siddharth Garg. Siddharth Garg is a cybersecurity researcher and associate professor at New York University Tandon School of Engineering. He is also a member of NYU WIRELESS. Garg is known for his research leveraging machine learning to securely manufacture computer chips so they are less prone to hacking. In 2016, he was named one of Popular Science magazine's "Brilliant 10."

Education 
Garg attended Indian Institute of Technology, Madras where he received his Bachelor of Technology degree in 2004. He then attended Stanford University for his Master of Science degree in electrical engineering 2005. For his doctoral research, he attended Carnegie Mellon University, where he received his PhD in 2009. His doctoral advisor was Diana Marculescu and his dissertation, entitled System-level modeling and mitigation of the impact of process variations on digital integrated circuits, received Carnegie Mellon's Angel G. Jordan Award for outstanding thesis contribution.

Career 
Following Garg's postdoctoral work, he became an assistant professor at University of Waterloo from 2010 to 2014, before moving to New York University Tandon School of Engineering, where he is currently an associate professor. His research interests bridge machine learning and cybersecurity. His research group has investigated how artificial intelligence can be exploited by malicious actors. They found that it is possible to embed behavior in artificial intelligence algorithms, for example those used for speech recognition, that can emerge in response to certain signals. Garg and his team showed that they could train an image recognition algorithm to interpret a stop sign as a speed limit signal by placing a post-it note over it. When such behavior is programmed by malicious actors, it's known as a "backdoor." They are working to understand different backdoors in order to develop ways to proactively detect them. Garg has also worked to develop manufacturing protocols for computer chips to make them resistant to hacking attempts.

Abraham Leggett. The Abraham Leggett was a 19th-century New York pilot boat built by Daniel Westervelt at the Westervelt & Co. shipyard. She helped transport New York City maritime pilots between inbound or outbound ships coming into the New York Harbor. In 1866, Pilot Michael Murphy was on the Abraham Leggett when the bark Emilie ran into the pilot boat. In 1879, the Abraham Leggett was hit and sank by the steamship Naples from Liverpool. She was replaced by the pilot boat Alexander M. Lawrence.

Construction and service 

New York pilot boat Abraham Leggett, No. 4, was built  by Daniel Westervelt at the Westervelt & Co. shipyard at the East River in New York City.

The Abraham Leggett was registered as a pilot schooner with the Record of American and Foreign Shipping from 1876 to 1879. Her ship master was Michael Murphy; her owners were the N. Y. Pilots; built in 1870 at New York; and her hailing port was the Port of New York. Her dimensions were 82 ft. length on deck; 20.8 ft. breadth of beam; 8.4 ft. depth of hold; and 55-tons burthen.

There are reports of the New York pilot boat Abraham Leggett, No. 4, and her ship logs as early as March 1868 where she arrived in New York City after sailing on a cruise from February 23 to March 3 in bad weather. She had placed pilots on board the brigs Emma Ives; George; from West Indies bound to New Haven; the steamship Gulf City; and the Mary Louisa from Charleston, bound to Boston.

On September 4, 1866, a collision took place off Staten Island, at the Quarantine Station, between the schooner pilot boat Abraham Leggett and the Bremen bark Emilie. The bark had come in from sea and was in tow by a tugboat. She passed  too close to the pilot boat and ran into her. The case went to the US District Court (Michael Murphy vs. The Bark Emilie), where the judge concluded that the collision was caused by the fault of the Emilie.

On January 24, 1876, the Abram Leggett, No. 4, was between Georgia and Nantucket shoals, when she was caught up in a storm, which threw her on her side. When the boat up righted, she was able to stay afloat until the storm subsided.

End of service

On 26 January 1879, the Abraham Leggett, No. 4, was hit by the steamship Naples from Liverpool when the pilot-boat came along the side of the steamer attempting to board her. The damage was so bad that the pilots abandon the pilot boat and came on board the steamer. Captain Kennedy of the steamer, said that he did not take responsibility for the loss of the boat because he was in no need of a pilot and the weather was too bad to board.

In 1879, the pilot boat Alexander M. Lawrence, No. 4, was built to take the place of the Abraham Leggett, No. 4.  The Lawrence was launched on May 21, 1879.

Tris(acetylacetonato)titanium(III). Tris(acetylacetonato)titanium(III), often abbreviated Ti(acac)3, is a coordination complex of titanium(III) featuring acetylacetonate (acac) ligands, making it one of a family of metal acetylacetonates.  It is a blue air-sensitive solid that dissolves in nonpolar organic solvents.  The compound is prepared by treating titanium trichloride with acetylacetone in the presence of base. Being paramagnetic, it gives a contact-shifted proton NMR signal at 60 ppm upfield of TMS assigned to the methyl group.

Structure
It is an octahedral complex. The Ti-O bonds lengths range from 2.023 to 2.013 Å, the large variation being attributed to the Jahn-Teller effect. Ti(acac)3 possesses helical chirality, giving rise to Δ- and Λ-enantiomers. 

It is a precatalyst for Ziegler-Natta catalysis.
