    Krueger Halloween Projection Mapping

    - Present 10 years 5 months

    Children

    Every Halloween, my spouse and I put on a digital Halloween projection mapping show to promote our community in Lake Elmo, Minnesota. This year, the Lake Elmo Fire Department provided candy to all of the children who came to watch the show. Overwhelmed by the positive response from our neighbors and inquiries from local Minnesota news stations, we have decided to expand our efforts for charity next year.

  • Noninvasive Early Detection of Nutrient Deficiencies in Greenhouse-Grown Industrial Hemp Using Hyperspectral Imaging

    Remote Sensing

    This article belongs to the Special Issue Proximal and Remote Sensing for Precision Crop Management II. Hyperspectral imaging is an emerging non-invasive technology with potential for early nutrient stress detection in plants prior to visible symptoms. This study evaluated hyperspectral imaging for early identification of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK) deficiencies across three greenhouse-grown industrial hemp plant cultivars (Cannabis sativa L.).

    This article belongs to the Special Issue Proximal and Remote Sensing for Precision Crop Management II. Hyperspectral imaging is an emerging non-invasive technology with potential for early nutrient stress detection in plants prior to visible symptoms. This study evaluated hyperspectral imaging for early identification of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK) deficiencies across three greenhouse-grown industrial hemp plant cultivars (Cannabis sativa L.). Visible and near-infrared spectral data (380–1022 nm) were acquired from hemp samples subjected to controlled NPK stresses at multiple developmental timepoints using a benchtop hyperspectral camera. Robust principal component analysis was developed for effective screening of spectral outliers. Partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and support vector machines (SVM) were developed and optimized to classify nutrient deficiencies using key wavelengths selected by variable importance in projection (VIP) and interval partial least squares (iPLS). The 16-wavelength iPLS-C-SVM model achieved the highest precision of 0.75 to 1 on the test dataset. Key wavelengths for effective nutrient deficiency detection spanned the visible range, underscoring the hyperspectral imaging sensitivity to early changes in leaf pigment levels prior to any visible symptom development. The emergence of wavelengths related to chlorophyll, carotenoid, and anthocyanin absorption as optimal for classification, highlights the technology’s capacity to detect subtle impending biochemical perturbations linked to emerging deficiencies. Identifying stress at this pre-visual stage could provide hemp producers with timely corrective action to mitigate losses in crop quality and yields.

    Our journey begins with the ambitious task of helping GMs understand "comparable" in this new landscape. In the past, comparable meant contract length, negotiating rights, and previous performance statistics. In today's AI-driven world, comparable can mean so much more. For instance, in the NHL, it can now include "predicted career games played comparable," "predicted next season games played comparable," "predicted career TOI comparable," "predicted next season TOI comparable," "predicted…

    Our journey begins with the ambitious task of helping GMs understand "comparable" in this new landscape. In the past, comparable meant contract length, negotiating rights, and previous performance statistics. In today's AI-driven world, comparable can mean so much more. For instance, in the NHL, it can now include "predicted career games played comparable," "predicted next season games played comparable," "predicted career TOI comparable," "predicted next season TOI comparable," "predicted career points comparable," and "predicted next season points comparable," among others. Probility AI aims to redefine how GMs perceive comparable players and the terminology surrounding them.

    Harvard Business Review

    With accurate player-availability predictions for all active players, AI-powered decision-making is dramatically improved around three dimensions: 1) Risk management: If a productive wide-receiver is likely to get hurt, for example, a team might invest more in talented backups, to minimize drop-off in team performance during injury. 2) Training and targeted interventions: If AI suggests a player is injury-prone, teams can target that player with customized training, nutrition, or other regimens…

    With accurate player-availability predictions for all active players, AI-powered decision-making is dramatically improved around three dimensions: 1) Risk management: If a productive wide-receiver is likely to get hurt, for example, a team might invest more in talented backups, to minimize drop-off in team performance during injury. 2) Training and targeted interventions: If AI suggests a player is injury-prone, teams can target that player with customized training, nutrition, or other regimens to reduce the likelihood of injury. Alternatively, a team might choose to reduce a player’s workload, also reducing risk. 3) Personnel decisions: By identifying factors that predict injury or other unavailability, teams can draft, trade for, or otherwise acquire players that they believe are more likely to be available season-long. Additionally, teams may choose to trade players for whom injury seems likely.
