UBW (USLCI-Brightway2) [SWR-25-169]

Life cycle inventory (LCI) data are critical for robust life cycle assessment (LCA), yet many widely used datasets such as the U.S. Life Cycle Inventory (USLCI) are not natively compatible with advanced modeling frameworks like Brightway2. This work presents an automated pipeline to transform USLCI data into a fully functional Brightway2 project. The workflow performs systematic data cleaning, resolves duplicate process and exchange identifiers, and applies allocation to multi-output processes. Technosphere and biosphere flows are harmonized through unit conversions and a bridge mapping to the biosphere3 database, with comprehensive logging of missing flows and cutoff issues. The resulting Brightway2 database is validated using matrix diagnostics to ensure consistency of the technosphere, and is benchmarked via life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) methods such as ReCiPe and IPCC GWP. Outputs include reproducible CSV exports of corrected processes, elementary flows, characterization factors, and LCIA results, alongside backup utilities for project sharing. This pipeline lowers barriers for integrating USLCI data into open-source LCA workflows, enabling reproducible, validated LCA inventories within the Brightway 2 framework.

Machine Learning Atom Probe Tomography Tool For Automatic And Fast Clustering

The software uses a YOLO11 segmentation model trained on synthetic data to analyze APT datasets. The workflow operates as follows: 1. Data Slicing: The APT dataset is divided into multiple 2D cross-sections of a specified thickness. 2. Segmentation: The model identifies point-dense regions within each 2D slice. 3. 3D Reconstruction: Detected regions (masks) from all slices are combined and reconstructed back into the original 3D space, forming clusters. The integration with HPC resources enables the software to process large-scale APT datasets efficiently. This combination of automation and scalability reduces manual intervention, improves reproducibility, and accelerates the clustering workflow.

ML-AMD/exa-pd

Exa-pd is a highly parallelizable workflow for constructing multi-element phase diagrams (PDs). It uses standard sampling techniques—molecular dynamics (MD) and Monte Carlo (MC)—as implemented in the LAMMPS package, to simultaneously sample multiple phases on a fine temperature–composition mesh for free-energy calculations. The workflow uses Parsl as a global controller to manage the MD/MC jobs to achieve massive parallelization with almost ideal scalability. The resulting free energies of both liquid and solid phases (including solid solutions) are then fed to CALPHAD modeling using the PYCALPHAD package for the construction of a multi-element PD.

This suite consists of a multi-package ecosystem featuring detector emulators, EPICS areaDetector drivers, and remote server frameworks designed for the Advanced Light Source (ALS). Engineered for high-bandwidth devices—including VFCCD, Timepix3, Timepix4, and related pixel detectors—the software simulates hardware, wraps vendor SDKs into remote-callable servers, and integrates with open-source control systems. Key Capabilities: Distributed SDK Architecture: Server packages wrap hardware-specific SDKs, allowing areaDetector drivers to execute remote framework calls. This isolates proprietary libraries from the EPICS IOC, enhancing stability and enabling distributed computing across beamline networks. Device Support: Custom drivers for VFCCD, the Timepix family, and similar sensors optimize the data path from hardware control to high-speed transport. Full-Stack Emulation: Sophisticated emulator packages allow end-to-end pipeline testing and software development without requiring physical hardware or beam time. Integrated Workflows: Supports high-bandwidth streaming for real-time analysis and robust, metadata-rich file-based workflows (e.g., HDF5/NeXus). By standardizing interfaces across heterogeneous hardware, this suite reduces technical debt. It provides the ALS with a scalable, open-source solution to manage massive data rates within a unified control environment.

HDF5 in the exascale era: Delivering efficient and scalable parallel I/O for exascale applications

Accurately modeling real-world systems requires scientific applications at exascale to generate massive amounts of data and manage data storage efficiently. However, parallel input and output (I/O) faces challenges due to new application workflows and the state-of-the-art memory, interconnect, and storage architectures considered in exascale designs. The storage hierarchy has expanded with node-local persistent memory, solid-state storage, and traditional disk and tape-based storage, thus requiring efficiency at each layer and much more efficient data movement among these layers. This paper discusses how the ExaHDF5 project improved the I/O performance and data management for exascale architectures by enhancing HDF5, a widely used parallel I/O library. The team developed an Asynchronous I/O Virtual Object Layer (VOL) connector that allowed overlapping I/O with computation. They also created a Cache VOL to complement asynchronous I/O by incorporating fast storage layers, such as burst buffer and node-local storage, into the parallel I/O workflow through caching and staging data. Additionally, the team enabled data aggregation and I/O at the node level by using a Subfiling Virtual File Driver (VFD). To demonstrate superior I/O performance with HDF5 at exascale, the ExaHDF5 team collaborated with several exascale applications. In this paper, we show I/O performance improvements for three applications: Cabana (a particle-based simulation library), EQSIM (a regional earthquake simulation software), and E3SM (a climate system modeling library).

Spatial top-down proteomics for the functional characterization of human kidney

Background: The Human Proteome Project has credibly detected nearly 93% of the roughly 20,000 proteins which are predicted by the human genome. However, the proteome is enigmatic, where alterations in amino acid sequences from polymorphisms and alternative splicing, errors in translation, and post-translational modifications result in a proteome depth estimated at several million unique proteoforms. Recently mass spectrometry has been demonstrated in several landmark efforts mapping the human proteoform landscape in bulk analyses. Herein, we developed an integrated workflow for characterizing proteoforms from human tissue in a spatially resolved manner by coupling laser capture microdissection, nanoliter-scale sample preparation, and mass spectrometry imaging. Results: Using healthy human kidney sections as the case study, we focused our analyses on the major functional tissue units including glomeruli, tubules, and medullary rays. After laser capture microdissection, these isolated functional tissue units were processed with microPOTS (microdroplet processing in one-pot for trace samples) for sensitive top-down proteomics measurement. This provided a quantitative database of 616 proteoforms that was further leveraged as a library for mass spectrometry imaging with near-cellular spatial resolution over the entire section. Notably, several mitochondrial proteoforms were found to be differentially abundant between glomeruli and convoluted tubules, and further spatial contextualization was provided by mass spectrometry imaging confirming unique differences identified by microPOTS, and further expanding the field-of-view for unique distributions such as enhanced abundance of a truncated form (1-74) of ubiquitin within cortical regions. Conclusions: We developed an integrated workflow to directly identify proteoforms and reveal their spatial distributions. Where of the 20 differentially abundant proteoforms identified as discriminate between tubules and glomeruli by microPOTS, the vast majority of tubular proteoforms were of mitochondrial origin (8 of 10) where discriminate proteoforms in glomeruli were primarily hemoglobin subunits (9 of 10). These trends were also identified within ion images demonstrating spatially resolved characterization of proteoforms that has the potential to reshape discovery-based proteomics because the proteoforms are the ultimate effector of cellular functions. Applications of this technology have the potential to unravel etiology and pathophysiology of disease states, informing on biologically active proteoforms, which remodel the proteomic landscape in chronic and acute disorders.

Single-cell proteomics of Arabidopsis leaf mesophyll reveals dynamic protein responses to water-deficit stress

Background The application of single-cell omics tools to biological systems can provide unique insights into diverse cellular populations and their heterogeneous responses to internal and external perturbations. Thus far, most single-cell studies in plant systems have been limited to RNA-sequencing approaches, which only provide indirect readouts of cellular functions. Results Here, we present a single-cell proteomics workflow for plant cells that integrates tape-sandwich protoplasting, piezoelectric cell sorting, nanoPOTS sample preparation, and ion mobility-based MS data acquisition method for label-free single-cell proteomics analysis of Arabidopsis leaf mesophyll cells. From a single leaf protoplast, over 3,000 proteins were quantified with high precision. The workflow is demonstrated to identify stress associated changes in protein abundance by analyzing 117 protoplasts from well-watered and water-deficit stressed plants. Additionally, we describe a new approach for constructing covarying protein networks at the single-cell level and demonstrate how single-cell protein covariation analysis can reveal previously unrecognized protein functions while also capturing stress-induced changes in protein–protein dynamics. Conclusions The label-free scProteomic approach presented here represents a significant advance through the demonstration of a facile protoplast isolation method combined with deep and precise proteomic coverage of Arabidopsis leaf mesophyll cell types. We believe this study will serve as an informative reference to future plant scProteomic investigations.

Data for "Discovery, Characterization, and Application of Chromosomal Integration Sites in the Hyperthermophilic Archaeon Sulfolobus islandicus"

Sulfolobus islandicus , an emerging archaeal model organism, offers unique advantages for metabolic engineering and synthetic biology applications owing to its ability to thrive in extreme environments. Although several genetic tools have been established for this organism, the lack of well-characterized chromosomal integration sites has limited its potential as a cellular factory. Here, we systematically identified and characterized 13 artificial CRISPR RNAs targeting eight integration sites in S. islandicus using the CRISPR-COPIES pipeline and a multi-omics-informed computational workflow. We leveraged the endogenous CRISPR-Cas system to integrate the reporter gene lacS and validated heterologous expression through a β-galactosidase assay, revealing significant positional effects. As a proof of concept, we utilized these sites to genetically manipulate lipid ether composition by overexpressing glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT) ring synthase B (GrsB). This study expands the genetic toolbox for S. islandicus and advances its potential as a robust platform for archaeal synthetic biology and industrial biotechnology.

Frontier Job-Centric Telemetry Dataset

Comprehensive analysis of high-performance computing (HPC) systems requires linking workload execution to system behavior. This kind of analysis is vital for diagnosing performance issues, managing capacity, detecting anomalous workloads, and understanding how applications interact with system hardware. This job-centric telemetry dataset unifies scheduler job records with node-level measurements, enabling direct association between workloads and their corresponding power, thermal, and performance characteristics. It contains sanitized, scheduler related metadata for 152,400 individual jobs that ran on the Frontier supercomputer and ended on selected days throughout 2024 and 2025, a subpopulation of ~6.8% of the total number of allocated jobs with non-zero run time on the system over that same period. Each is linked with files that contain telemetry time series records of the power utilization and temperature behavior of its allocated nodes and their processors during the run time of the job. Where available, a portion of the job files also contain network performance time series. Jobs are sampled from select days that reflect normal levels of user activity and possess job size distributions with large numbers of leadership class jobs (>20% of Frontier nodes). Jobs in this dataset attempt to best represent successful user workflows.
