Methods of Performing Large Scale, Multidimensional Parametric Studies for Space Launch System Mission Analysis

Optimizing a large number of trajectories over a wide range of parameters is a difficult and computationally intensive, particularly when the parametric space has a large number of dimensions. Solving parametric studies like these require good initial conditions for each optimization case, which results in a significant amount of manual interaction and human judgment and can be time consuming. The Space Launch System (SLS) uses POST2 (Program to Optimize Simulated Trajectories II) to simulate different ascent trajectories and perform mission analysis. SLS mission analysis currently uses two types of large scale, multidimensional parameter spaces. The qualifying factor between these spaces is the grid density, which determines the set of applicable solution methodologies. One type has a relatively low number of dimensions (2-3), but a large number of grid coordinates (2000- 4000), whereas the second type has a relatively low number of grid coordinates (150-350), but a higher number of dimensions (7-10).

An Immersive Visual Analytics Platform for Multidimensional Dataset

Abstract—Virtual Reality is a budding new medium of interaction, but ways in which to use it for data analytics are not immediately obvious. Through our research, we investigated new and useful ways to view multidimensional data in a virtual environment. In this paper, we present a virtual laboratory with collaborative visualizations in different spaces. We focused on geographic view in the center of the room by utilizing spatial freedom in Virtual Reality, which informed both the geographic visualization and time series data. Through this laboratory and the collaborative visualizations housed within, we believe we’ve found a novel way to interpret data in Virtual Reality.

Hypernetwork Science: From Multidimensional Networks to Computational Topology

As data structures and mathematical objects used for complex systems modeling, hypergraphs sit nicely poised between on the one hand the world of network models, and on the other that of higher-order mathematical abstractions from algebra, lattice theory, and topology. They are able to represent complex systems interactions more faithfully than graphs and networks, while also being some of the simplest classes of systems representing topological structures as collections of multidimensional objects connected in a particular pattern. In this paper we discuss the role of (undirected) hypergraphs in the science of complex networks, and provide a mathematical overview of the core concepts needed for hypernetwork modeling, including duality and the relationship to bicolored graphs, quantitative adjacency and incidence, the nature of walks in hypergraphs, and available topological relationships and properties. We close with a brief discussion of two example applications: biomedical databases for disease analysis, and domain-name system (DNS) analysis of cyber data.

Multidimensional photon correlation spectroscopy of cavity polaritons

Significance We propose a spectroscopic technique that can track the time-dependent state of a dressed molecule in an optical cavity (polariton) by measuring coincidence of two emitted photons. The proposed technique offers an independent control of the spectral and temporal resolution; single-photon detection allows for low-intensity measurements, which do not disturb the state of the cavity field, and time-dependent atom/cavity coupling provides a control tool. Tracking the evolution of the polariton states with time-dependent atom/cavity coupling should be of interest in photochemistry and photobiology and could improve fundamental understanding of many physical processes in strongly coupled atom/radiation states. Possible applications include chemical sensors and quantum information processing.

Imaging electron-density fluctuations by multidimensional X-ray photon-coincidence diffraction

The ultrafast spontaneous electron-density fluctuation dynamics in molecules is studied theoretically by off-resonant multiple X-ray diffraction events. The time- and wavevector-resolved photon-coincidence signals give an image of electron-density fluctuations expressed through the four-point correlation function of the charge density in momentum space. A Fourier transform of the signal provides a real-space image of the multipoint charge-density correlation functions, which reveal snapshots of the evolving electron density in between the diffraction events. The proposed technique is illustrated by ab initio simulations of the momentum- and real-space inelastic scattering signals from a linear cyanotetracetylene molecule.

Multidimensional perspectives of geo-epidemiology: from interdisciplinary learning and research to cost–benefit oriented decision-making

Research typically promotes two types of outcomes (inventions and discoveries), which induce a virtuous cycle: something suspected or desired (not previously demonstrated) may become known or feasible once a new tool or procedure is invented and, later, the use of this invention may discover new knowledge. Research also promotes the opposite sequence—from new knowledge to new inventions. This bidirectional process is observed in geo-referenced epidemiology—a field that relates to but may also differ from spatial epidemiology. Geo-epidemiology encompasses several theories and technologies that promote inter/transdisciplinary knowledge integration, education, and research in population health. Based on visual examples derived from geo-referenced studies on epidemics and epizootics, this report demonstrates that this field may extract more (geographically related) information than simple spatial analyses, which then supports more effective and/or less costly interventions. Actual (not simulated) bio-geo-temporal interactions (never captured before the emergence of technologies that analyze geo-referenced data, such as geographical information systems) can now address research questions that relate to several fields, such as Network Theory. Thus, a new opportunity arises before us, which exceeds research: it also demands knowledge integration across disciplines as well as novel educational programs which, to be biomedically and socially justified, should demonstrate cost-effectiveness. Grounded on many bio-temporal-georeferenced examples, this report reviews the literature that supports this hypothesis: novel educational programs that focus on geo-referenced epidemic data may help generate cost-effective policies that prevent or control disease dissemination.

Molecular Interlocking Multidimensional Modulations of Cathode‐Electrolyte Interface for Constructing High Energy Density Quasi‐Solid‐State Batteries

Gel polymers are regarded as a promising candidate electrolyte for lithium-metal quasi-solid-state batteries, primarily due to their high ionic conductivity and solid-liquid synergistic properties. However, challenges such as interfacial side reactions, limitations in Li + transport caused by interfacial issues, and leaching of transition metals from the cathode have yet to be effectively solved. Herein, a novel gel electrolyte modulation strategy based on electrostatic filler assembly is proposed to address the issues of ineffective capacity utilization and inadequate cycling stability of high-energy-density cathode materials in solid-state lithium-ion batteries. It constructs a 3D interpenetrating charge-bridge network that effectively tackles the phase-separation challenge between fillers and electrolytes at the molecular level. Meanwhile, the molecular interlocking structure effectively inhibits the electrolyte erosion. More critically, it optimizes and stabilizes the cathode-electrolyte interface film, which facilitates the conduction of Li + -ions through a size-sieving mechanism. Consequently, this strategy enables effective adaptation across diverse high-energy-density cathode materials with satisfactory capacity performance (170.4 mAh g −1 at 4.5 V/1 C for LiNi 0.6 Co 0.2 Mn 0.2 O 2 and 194.0 mAh g −1 at 4.3 V/1 C for LiNi 0.9 Co 0.08 Mn 0.02 O 2 ). In conclusion, this investigation offers a straightforward and effective reference for addressing the critical challenges of ionic transport and interface stabilization in the design of gel electrolytes.

Blind photovoltaic modeling intercomparison: A multidimensional data analysis and lessons learned

The Photovoltaic (PV) Performance Modeling Collaborative (PVPMC) organized a blind PV performance modeling intercomparison to allow PV modelers to blindly test their models and modeling ability against real system data. Measured weather and irradiance data were provided along with detailed descriptions of PV systems from two locations (Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA, and Roskilde, Denmark). Participants were asked to simulate the plane-of-array irradiance, module temperature, and DC power output from six systems and submit their results to Sandia for processing. The results showed overall median mean bias (i.e., the average error per participant) of 0.6% in annual irradiation and –3.3% in annual energy yield. While most PV performance modeling results seem to exhibit higher precision and accuracy as compared to an earlier blind PV modeling study in 2010, human errors, modeling skills, and derates were found to still cause significant errors in the estimates.
