In situ x-ray and electron scattering studies of oxide molecular beam epitaxial growth

We perform the first in situ synchrotron X-ray ray diffraction (SXRD) / reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) studies on the growth of complex oxide thin films by molecular beam epitaxy. The unique deposition chamber, located at the Advanced Photon Source, allows the preparation of complex oxide samples with monolayer precision and facilitates the formation of direct correlations between in situ X-ray studies and the more prevalent RHEED investigations. Importantly, because SXRD and RHEED probe different atomic-scale processes during thin film synthesis, their concomitant use enables the extraction of details concerning growth behavior than one cannot determine from either probe alone. We describe the results of such in situ studies on the epitaxial growth of perovskite LaNiO3on (La 0.18 Sr 0.82 )(Al 0.59 Ta 0.41 )O 3 (001). We find that during the earliest stages of growth, the RHEED and X-ray signals do not agree with each other, demonstrating that while regular RHEED oscillations may imply high quality growth, the film-substrate interface can undergo significant changes during deposition due to the occurrence of interdiffusion at the growth temperature.

Numerical relativity higher order gravitational waveforms of eccentric, spinning, nonprecessing binary black hole mergers

We use the open source, community-driven, numerical relativity software, the EINSTEIN TOOLKIT to study the physics of eccentric, spinning, nonprecessing binary black hole mergers with mass-ratios q = {2; 4; 6}, individual dimensionless spin parameters chi 1z = +/- 0.6, chi 2z = +/- 0.3, that include higher order gravitational wave modes l <= 4, except for memory modes. Assuming stellar mass binary black hole mergers that may be detectable by the advanced LIGO detectors, we find that including modes up to l = 4 increases the signal-to-noise of compact binaries between 3.5% to 35%, compared to signals that only include the l = ImI = 2 mode. We use two waveform models, TEOBResumS and SEOBNRE, which incorporate spin and eccentricity corrections in the waveform dynamics, to quantify the orbital eccentricity of our numerical relativity catalog in a gauge-invariant manner through fitting factor calculations. Our findings indicate that the inclusion of higher order wave modes has a measurable effect in the recovery of moderately and highly eccentric black hole mergers, and thus it is essential to develop waveform models and signal processing tools that accurately describe the physics of these astrophysical sources.

Performance comparison of state-of-the-art high-speed video cameras for scientific applications

Time-resolved visualization of fast processes using high-speed digital video-cameras has been widely used in most fields of scientific research for over a decade. In many applications, high-speed imaging is used not only to record the time history of a phenomenon but also to quantify it, hence requiring dependable equipment. Important aspects of two-dimensional imaging instrumentation used to qualitatively or quantitatively assess fast-moving scenes include sensitivity, linearity, as well as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Under certain circumstances, the weaknesses of commercially available high-speed cameras, i.e., sensitivity, linearity, image lag, etc., render the experiment complicated and uncertain. Our study evaluated two advanced CMOS-based, continuous-recording, high-speed cameras available at the moment of writing. In this work, various parameters, potentially important toward accurate time-resolved measurements and photonic quantification, have been measured under controlled conditions on the bench, using scientific instrumentation. Testing procedures to measure sensitivity, linearity, SNR, shutter accuracy, and image lag are proposed and detailed. The results of the tests, comparing the two high-speed cameras under study, are also presented and discussed. Results show that, with careful implementation and understanding of their performance and limitations, these high-speed cameras are reasonable alternatives to scientific CCD cameras, while also delivering time-resolved imaging data.

Radiation-induced alteration of apatite on the surface of Mars: first in situ observations with SuperCam Raman onboard Perseverance

Abstract Planetary exploration relies considerably on mineral characterization to advance our understanding of the solar system, the planets and their evolution. Thus, we must understand past and present processes that can alter materials exposed on the surface, affecting space mission data. Here, we analyze the first dataset monitoring the evolution of a known mineral target in situ on the Martian surface, brought there as a SuperCam calibration target onboard the Perseverance rover. We used Raman spectroscopy to monitor the crystalline state of a synthetic apatite sample over the first 950 Martian days (sols) of the Mars2020 mission. We note significant variations in the Raman spectra acquired on this target, specifically a decrease in the relative contribution of the Raman signal to the total signal. These observations are consistent with the results of a UV-irradiation test performed in the laboratory under conditions mimicking ambient Martian conditions. We conclude that the observed evolution reflects an alteration of the material, specifically the creation of electronic defects, due to its exposure to the Martian environment and, in particular, UV irradiation. This ongoing process of alteration of the Martian surface needs to be taken into account for mineralogical space mission data analysis.

Next-Generation Electric Motors and Electromagnetic Devices (CRADA Final Report)

As part of the Cyclotron Road program, the Foli Research team investigated electric motors and other electromagnetic devices additively manufactured by depositing fine conducting wire onto a substrate. By leveraging modern motion control and efficient upstream manufacturing processes, the team explored using geometric control and turnkey production comparable to printed circuit board manufacturing, aiming at ten-fold improvements in signal density, while eliminating the material use, cost, and complexity overheads of subtractive processes at large scales. Owing to the achievable density and additive scaling, disparate components became monolithic, and disparate processes were combined with the aim of reducing development costs, uncertainties, and timelines. When applied to electric motors, this technology may enable agile manufacturing of next-generation designs, with dramatic increases in achievable power density and material utilization. Electric motors represent the single largest user of electricity in the U.S. and a critical component of decarbonized infrastructure. Despite this significance, the manufacturing of motors and other electromagnetic devices remains capital-intensive, labor-intensive, and performance-limiting. Advanced manufacturing processes were required to produce high-performance, low-cost, application-specific electric motors and electromagnetic devices to support an electrified future.

An Integrated Signaling-Encryption Mechanism to Reduce Error Propagation in Wireless Communications: Performance Analyses

Traditional encryption techniques require packet overhead, produce processing time delay, and suffer from severe quality of service deterioration due to fades and interference in wireless channels. These issues reduce the effective transmission data rate (throughput) considerably in wireless communications, where data rate with limited bandwidth is the main constraint. In this paper, performance evaluation analyses are conducted for an integrated signaling-encryption mechanism that is secure and enables improved throughput and probability of bit-error in wireless channels. This mechanism eliminates the drawbacks stated herein by encrypting only a small portion of an entire transmitted frame, while the rest is not subject to traditional encryption but goes through a signaling process (designed transformation) with the plaintext of the portion selected for encryption. We also propose to incorporate error correction coding solely on the small encrypted portion of the data to drastically improve the overall bit-error rate performance while not noticeably increasing the required bit-rate. We focus on validating the signaling-encryption mechanism utilizing Hamming and convolutional error correction coding by conducting an end-to-end system-level simulation-based study. The average probability of bit-error and throughput of the encryption mechanism are evaluated over standard Gaussian and Rayleigh fading-type channels and compared to the ones of the conventional advanced encryption standard (AES).

Fast Change Point Detection for Electricity Market Analysis

Electricity is a vital part of our daily life; therefore it is important to avoid irregularities such as the California Electricity Crisis of 2000 and 2001. In this work, we seek to predict anomalies using advanced machine learning algorithms. These algorithms are effective, but computationally expensive, especially if we plan to apply them on hourly electricity market data covering a number of years. To address this challenge, we significantly accelerate the computation of the Gaussian Process (GP) for time series data. In the context of a Change Point Detection (CPD) algorithm, we reduce its computational complexity from O($n^{5}$) to O($n^{2}$). Our efficient algorithm makes it possible to compute the Change Points using the hourly price data from the California Electricity Crisis. By comparing the detected Change Points with known events, we show that the Change Point Detection algorithm is indeed effective in detecting signals preceding major events.

Advanced Neutron Counting Electronics Designed and Implemented on the JCC-71 Neutron Coincidence Collar to Replace Standard JAB-01 Preamplifier/Amplifier/Discriminator Boards

New in-house neutron counting electronics were designed and built at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to replace the Canberra Industries JAB-01 preamplifier/amplifier/discriminator boards on their JCC-71 Neutron Coincidence Collar model system. The new electronics include a preamplifier and motherboard design, which fit inside the footprint of the existing junction box, as well as an external “ORNL Neutron Collar Processor” board. The goal of the new electronics is to provide the same neutron processing functionalities as the JAB-01 boards and extend the capabilities of the JCC-71 system by placing a preamplifier on each of the 18 3He tubes to facilitate neutron list mode data acquisition. Each 3He tube is then capable of producing an individual signal output to be analyzed using a list mode data acquisition system such as the PTR-32 or N2000. List mode data analysis provides the opportunity to use all 18 signal channels to produce a spatial response matrix to assay fresh nuclear fuel assemblies. This paper describes the development of the new electronics and provides performance comparison measurements between the two electronics board systems using list mode data acquisition.

Enhancing Automotive Intrusion Detection Through Multi-Modal Fusion: A CAN FD-LiDAR Approach

As vehicles become smarter and more autonomous, they increasingly depend on advanced sensors and communication technologies to operate securely. However, such growing dependence on technology—whether it’s CAN (Controller Area Network) for internal communication or LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) for sensing the world around them—also expands the attack surface for the types of cyber attacks. Traditional intrusion detection systems (IDS) typically monitor these systems in isolation, limiting their ability to detect sophisticated, crosssystem attacks. To address this, we propose a multi-modal fusion approach that combines real-world CAN FD signals (from the HCRL dataset) with LiDAR features (from the nuScenes dataset) to enhance attack detection. Our method employs a twostage ensemble approach. Calibrated XGBoost and LightGBM models initially process CAN FD (Fuzzing Data) and LiDAR data independently, detecting timing anomalies and space abnormalities. They are subsequently logarithmically combined with a logistic regression meta-model along with 17 engineered features capturing cross-modal behavior, prediction conflicts, and nonlinear interactions. This approach achieves an AUC of 0.87 and an F1-score of 0.82, surpassing single-modality baselines and early fusion methods, at merely 2 ms inference latency. Compared with deep learning competitors, it is 3 times more efficient, providing a lightweight, interpretable, and real time solution to automotive cybersecurity.

MO-E-BRB-04: Real-Time Exit-Fluence Delivery Validation

Recent high profile reports of technical failures and human errors causing severe radiation- induced injuries and deaths come in support of the sustained efforts to ensure patient safety in the delivery of radiation treatments. In addition, highly conformal radiation therapies and escalated fraction doses mandate increased and sustained accuracy of the entire radiotherapy process. Consequently, and as a Result of AAPM and ASTRO led efforts patient specific quality assurance for specialized radiation treatments such as IMRT, SRS/SBRT and Arc Therapy had become a three-tier process: Pre-treatment, during treatment, and post treatment patient specific QA. Traditional patient QA consists of pre-treatment data transfer integrity dosimetric verifications and during-treatment geometric verifications. However, as treatment adaptation becomes closer to deployment in the clinics, during treatment validation via exit detectors had become a realistic QA option, permitting plan assessment in near real time. Post-treatment, machine logs allow comparisons of a range of mechanical parameters. A combination of these techniques could be used in evaluating inter-fraction, and intra-fraction delivery over a long time period such as an year, to evaluate the significant errors per site, per treatment technique. This type of data mining over longer periods of time provides the potential to recognize suboptimal radiation treatments, while allowing to identify systematic, possibly significant errors. This would allow creation of a data base of realized errors, small and large in dosimetry that could be for process or equipment improvement. This educational symposium will describe and review patient QA techniques, results, and strategies for patient specific quality assurance. Learning Objectives: review the goals of pre-treatment QA for various specialized procedures review methods and means for pre-treatment QA, limitations and tolerances review the scenarios where Varian/Tomo Log files could be used. review error detection via log file analysis Learn how exit detector signal recorded in log file could be used to improve patient safety understand real-time EPID-based transmission dosimetry methods understand the goals of real-time delivery monitoring CMS Innovation grant.

Autonomous Aerial Power Plant Inspection in GPS-denied Environments

Inspection of coal-fired power plants is frequently dangerous, includes difficult places to reach, and can turn expensive due to the downtimes and cost of inspection crew. Robotic systems have shown capabilities to address some of these issues, but most of the current robotic inspection technology in power plants is designed for specific components. Conversely, recent advances in machine vision have empowered aerial platforms for long-range, remotely-controlled, GPS-based inspections of industrial plants. This capability has led to wide spread utilization of aerial robots (commonly termed Drones, UVS or UAS) platforms for inspection in less challenging environments where both collision avoidance, and GPS reception are not significant issues. The challenge in adapting airborne technology for power plant inspection lies in internal structures and the complex network of piping, and distribution systems, which impose significant risks for collision and can hinder the reception and transmission of GPS signals. The current state of the art in aerial inspection technology within the energy sector is controlled via radio control, and utilizes GPS-based navigation, for inspection of large-scale plants such as offshore platforms and wind turbine parks. Nevertheless, close-range and autonomous inspection in the GPS-denied environments of power plants has not yet been achieved, as it requires precise guidance and navigation with real-time situational awareness and obstacle avoidance capabilities. This endeavor introduced the use of rotary wing flying robots, due to their station keeping and vertical take-off capabilities for power plant components inspection. To enable close quarter inspection two methods were used. One method uses the 3D CAD (Three-dimensional Computer-Aided Design) model of the asset to inspect to generate the UAV’s inspection path. To acquire, analyze and process the 3D model, first, the STL file is produced to obtain surface points and vectors normal to the surface. Later, by introducing other variables such as wall offset and a controlled trajectory between each outline and each subsequent layer, the flight path is generated. The proposed framework will generate a path that will pass as close as desired from the surface and navigate in intricate environments. A second method, use advanced manufacturing techniques such as CNC (Computer Numerical Control) and additive manufacturing. Once the inspection flight path is obtained, vision-based navigation systems are employed to have the UAV autonomously tracking the provided trajectory. Finally, Artificial Intelligence-enabled developments are in charge of detecting cracks and corrosion in structural components of power plants. The proposed methods are validated in simulations, laboratory and industrial setups, where it is shown that the developed systems acting together enable close-quarter autonomous aerial inspection and mapping in power plant assets. The system can be further improved by adding more sensors to navigate in different GPS-denied environments, with non-homogeneous lighting conditions, dust and in general situations where vision-based systems may fail.

Multilevel Analysis, Design, and Modeling of Coupling Advanced Nuclear Reactors and Thermal Energy Storage in an Integrated Energy System

This report discusses the different options for coupling thermal energy storage (TES) systems to advanced nuclear power plants (A-NPPs) in order to enable flexible and hybrid plant operation. An advanced light-water reactor (A LWR), a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) and a liquid-metal fast reactor (LMFR) were selected as the initial use cases for demonstrating a thermally balanced energy storage coupling design for thermal power extraction. The models presented herein showcase several design considerations, focusing on optimal deployment methodologies for achieving steady-state and transient-state operation with minimum disruption to the nuclear power cycle. This first part of the study presents steady-state models developed using Aspen HYSYS®, with the thermal energy bypass for NPP-TES coupling being varied at up to 50%. The various components were sized using the Aspen Process Economic Analyzer (APEA) and Aspen Exchanger Design and Rating (EDR), when applicable. Cost functions from these models were developed using the latest publicly available data obtained from APEA V11. The TES-coupled A-NPP steady-state models and cost functions then provided a baseline for dynamic operation and process optimization by using Idaho National Laboratory (INL)’s Framework for Optimization of Resources and Economics (FORCE) tools. A stochastic optimization of the various energy storage systems coupled to the A-NPPs was then performed using the Risk Analysis Virtual Environment (RAVEN) and its dispatch optimization plugin, the Holistic Energy Resource Optimization Network (HERON). The signal processing and synthetic history capabilities of RAVEN were used to account for the unpredictable behavior of electricity markets. An autoregressive moving average (ARMA) model was used to analyze price signals from the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland (PJM) market and were applied to the HERON analysis in order to optimize a system with the best economics. Transient modeling evaluation was then performed using Modelica models within the HYBRID repository, which was developed at INL for the Department of Energy Integrated Energy Systems program for the characterization of dynamic integrated system behavior and feedback. This includes evaluation of the TES-coupled A-LWR systems’ impact on physical and thermal system response during imposed system demands. Additional TES-coupled reactor types, coupling approaches, markets, and TES technologies will be evaluated in future work.

Learning the Temporal Effect in Infrared Thermal Videos With Long Short-Term Memory for Quality Prediction in Resistance Spot Welding

With the advances of sensing technology, in-situ infrared thermal videos can be collected from Resistance Spot Welding (RSW) processes. Each video records the formulation process of a weld nugget. The nugget evolution creates a “temporal effect” across the frames, which can be leveraged for real-time, nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of the weld quality. Currently, quality prediction with imaging data mainly focuses on optical feature extraction with Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) but does not make the most of such temporal effect. In this study, pixels corresponding to critical locations on the weld nugget surface are extracted from a video to form multivariate time series (MTS). Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS) is used in MTS processing to remove noisy signals related to uninformative frames. A Stacked Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model is developed to learn from the processed MTS and then predicts weld nugget size and thickness in real-time NDE. Results from a case study on RSW of Boron steel demonstrates the improvement in prediction accuracy and computational time with the proposed method, as compared to CNN-based weld quality prediction.

Model-based approach to investigate equipment-induced error in pressure-waveform derived hemodynamic measurements

Advanced hemodynamic monitoring systems have provided less invasive methods for estimating pressure-derived measurements such as pressure-derived cardiac output (CO) measurements. These devices apply algorithms to arterial pressure waveforms recorded via pressure recording components that transmit the pressure signal to a pressure monitor. While standards have been developed for pressure monitoring equipment, it is unclear how the equipment-induced error can affect secondary measurements from pressure waveforms. We propose an approach for modelling different components of a pressure monitoring system and use this model-based approach to investigate the effect of different pressure recording configurations on pressure-derived hemodynamic measurements. The proposed model-based approach is a three-step process. (1) Modelling the response of pressure recording components using bench tests; (2) verifying the identified models through nonparametric equivalence tests; and (3) assessing the effects of pressure recording components on pressure-derived measurements. To delineate the application of this approach, we performed a series of model-based analyses to quantify the combined effect of a wide range of tubing configurations with various damping ratios and natural frequencies and monitors with different bandwidths on pressure waveforms and CO measurements by six pulse contour algorithms. Model-based results show the error in pressure-derived CO measurements because of tubing configurations with different natural frequencies and damping ratios. Tubing configurations with low natural frequencies (<23 Hz) altered characteristics of pressure waveforms in a way that affected the CO measurement, some by as much as 20%. Our method can serve as a tool to quantify the performance of pressure recording systems with different dynamic properties. In conclusion, this approach can be applied to investigate the effects of physiologic signal recording configurations on various pressure-derived hemodynamic measurements.

The interactions of peripheral membrane proteins with biological membranes

The interactions of peripheral proteins with membrane surfaces are critical to many biological processes, including signaling, recognition, membrane trafficking, cell division and cell structure. On a molecular level, peripheral membrane proteins can modulate lipid composition, membrane dynamics and protein-protein interactions. Biochemical and biophysical studies have shown that these interactions are in fact highly complex, dominated by several different types of interactions, and have an interdependent effect on both the protein and membrane. Here we examine three major mechanisms underlying the interactions between peripheral membrane proteins and membranes: electrostatic interactions, hydrophobic interactions, and fatty acid modification of proteins. While experimental approaches continue to provide critical insights into specific interaction mechanisms, emerging bioinformatics resources and tools contribute to a systems-level picture of protein-lipid interactions. Through these recent advances, we begin to understand the pivotal role of protein-lipid interactions underlying complex biological functions at membrane interfaces.

Hydrogen density mapping in biomolecular crystals through dynamic nuclear polarization

Many fundamental biological processes, including those in photosynthetic reaction centers and enzyme active sites, involve charge and energy transfer, bond cleavage, protonation and hydrogen bonding. Because H atoms play such central roles in these reactions, accurately determining their positions is essential. Yet, conventional X-ray crystallography primarily resolves the heavy atoms in biological structures and provides limited insight into hydrogen, even at atomic resolution. Neutron macromolecular crystallography (NMC) overcomes this limitation by offering exceptional sensitivity to hydrogen and deuterium. Here, we present a theoretical framework for the development of dynamic nuclear polarization NMC (DNP-NMC) techniques, which exploit the alignment of neutron and proton nuclear spins to enhance and tune the hydrogen signal contribution. The DNP-NMC approach advances the resolution of H atoms within biomolecular crystals, whether bound to protein residues or present in solvent. The method establishes key relationships for the coherent structure factor of polarized neutron scattering from hydrogenous matter. It theoretically achieves full accuracy in phase reconstruction and offers a path to improve neutron structure determination, achieving accuracies exceeding ≳80% by incorporating titration states. Using a variant of the hybrid input/output phase-retrieval algorithm, it allows recovery of the hydrogen density with ≳90% phase accuracy. In conclusion, we further discuss sources of experimental uncertainty for the upcoming DNP-enabled, quasi-Laue IMAGINE-X experiment at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's High Flux Isotope Reactor.

Proteomic insights into the physiology and metabolism of oleaginous yeasts and filamentous fungi

Fungi are vital to the bioeconomy, serving as key producers of food, beverages, biofuels, and medicines, while also acting as essential resource recyclers in ecosystem management. For nearly a century, oleaginous yeast and filamentous fungi have been explored for their proficiency in oleochemicals production and carbon storage. Lipogenesis is one of the most well-studied fungal processes, with substantial progress having been made through reductionist biochemical approaches; however, the physiology and metabolism of fungal systems operating under different conditions arise from the functions of thousands of proteins, for which very little is known outside of model yeast. In this review, we discuss how proteomics provides a valuable analytical approach to contextualize lipogenesis within a complex biological system, where lipid accumulation is fundamentally governed by changes in proteins of multiple pathways. In the past two decades, proteomics has been applied to study stress response to nutrient limitations, metabolism of various carbon and nitrogen sources, the lipid droplet hub of carbon storage, protein post-translational modifications and signaling pathways, as well as oleochemical biosynthesis, thereby advancing our understanding of the oleaginous phenotype. Over 40 studies are reviewed herein to evaluate the impact, critically assess the utility, and propose future applications of proteomics. In the coming years, large systems-level proteomics studies will lay a foundation for marrying modeling and metabolic engineering strategies to optimize oleochemicals production in oleaginous fungi.

Cryogenic hybrid magnonic circuits based on spalled YIG thin films

Yttrium iron garnet (YIG) magnonics has garnered significant research interest because of the unique properties of magnons (quasiparticles of collective spin excitation) for signal processing. In particular, hybrid systems based on YIG magnonics show great promise for quantum information science due to their broad frequency tunability and strong compatibility with other platforms. However, their broad applications have been severely constrained by substantial microwave loss in the gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG) substrate at cryogenic temperatures. In this study, we demonstrate that YIG thin films can be spalled from YIG/GGG samples. Our approach is validated by measuring hybrid devices comprising superconducting resonators and spalled YIG films, which exhibit anti-crossing features that indicate strong coupling between magnons and microwave photons. Such new capability of separating YIG thin films from GGG substrates via spalling and the integrated superconductor-YIG devices represent a significant advancement for integrated magnonic devices, paving the way for advanced magnon-based coherent information processing.
