PAM module for OAuth 2.0 Device flow

This is a PAM module that lets you log in via SSH to servers using OpenID Connect credentials, instead of SSH Keys or a username and password combination. It uses the OAuth2 Device Flow, which means that during the login process, you will click a link and log in to your OpenID Connect Provider, which will then authenticate you for the SSH session. This module will then check if you're in the right group(s) or have a specified username, and allow or deny access.

Hybrid-BPR (Bayesian Personalized Ranking with Feature Embeddings and Explicit Negative Sampling) [SWR-26-039]

Hybrid-BPR is a Python library for Bayesian Personalized Ranking (BPR) with two key capabilities that go beyond standard BPR implementations: 1. User and item feature embeddings - incorporate content-based signals (genres, tags, metadata) alongside collaborative filtering. 2. Implicit negative interactions - use observed non-interactions (e.g. viewed-but-not-clicked) as negative training signal instead of random sampling from the full item space. The software is built for recommender systems research with MLflow experiment tracking, parallel hyperparameter sweeps, and standard ranking metrics.

Closed Loop Geothermal Working Group: GeoCLUSTER App, Subsurface Simulation Results, and Publications

To better understand the heat production, electricity generation performance, and economic viability of closed-loop geothermal systems in hot-dry rock, the Closed-Loop Geothermal Working Group -- a consortium of several national labs and academic institutions has tabulated time-dependent numerical solutions and levelized cost results of two popular closed-loop heat exchanger designs (u-tube and co-axial). The heat exchanger designs were evaluated for two working fluids (water and supercritical CO2) while varying seven continuous independent parameters of interest (mass flow rate, vertical depth, horizontal extent, borehole diameter, formation gradient, formation conductivity, and injection temperature). The corresponding numerical solutions (approximately 1.2 million per heat exchanger design) are stored as multi-dimensional HDF5 datasets and can be queried at off-grid points using multi-dimensional linear interpolation. A Python script was developed to query this database and estimate time-dependent electricity generation using an organic Rankine cycle (for water) or direct turbine expansion cycle (for CO2) and perform a cost assessment. This document aims to give an overview of the HDF5 database file and highlights how to read, visualize, and query quantities of interest (e.g., levelized cost of electricity, levelized cost of heat) using the accompanying Python scripts. Details regarding the capital, operation, and maintenance and levelized cost calculation using the techno-economic analysis script are provided. This data submission will contain results from the Closed Loop Geothermal Working Group study that are within the public domain, including publications, simulation results, databases, and computer codes. GeoCLUSTER is a Python-based web application created using Dash, an open-source framework built on top of Flask that streamlines the building of data dashboards. GeoCLUSTER provides users with a collection of interactive methods for streamlining the exploration and visualization of an HDF5 dataset. The GeoCluster app and database are contained in the compressed file geocluster_vx.zip, where the "x" refers to the version number. For example, geocluster_v1.zip is Version 1 of the app. This zip file also contains installation instructions. **To use the GeoCLUSTER app in the cloud, click the link to "GeoCLUSTER on AWS" in the Resources section below. To use the GeoCLUSTER app locally, download the geocluster_vx.zip to your computer and uncompress this file. When uncompressed this file comprises two directories and the geocluster_installation.pdf file. The geo-data app contains the HDF5 database in condensed format, and the GeoCLUSTER directory contains the GeoCLUSTER app in the subdirectory dash_app, as app.py. The geocluster_installation.pdf file provides instructions on installing Python, the needed Python modules, and then executing the app.

hectorui: A web-based interactive scenario builder and visualization application for the Hector climate model

In a world of increasingly online, distributed, and diverse interdisciplinary research, there is a need to provide accessible and user-friendly interactive visualization tools that elucidate complex models and their output products. Hector UI is an R Shiny web interface built to extend the simple global climate model Hector (Hartin et al. 2015), originally designed in C++ with an accompanying R interface. Traditionally, Hector has only had a command line interface available which requires fluency in C++ or R and a full understanding of Hector’s parameter space to run the model and create output. Hector UI provides a fast, efficient solution that makes the model more accessible to a broader user base. This implementation allows users that may not be fluent in R or C++ to interactively explore model scenarios and outputs in an easy to use, guided point and click interface.

iClick Synthesis of Metallopolymers and Highly Emissive Materials

This project involves the exploitation of iClick (Inorganic Click) to link two or more metal ions. The novel cycloaddition between a metal-azide and a metal-acetylide developed at UF provides an opportunity to prepare materials that were previously unimaginable. Further developing the synthetic methodology of iClick will open new frontiers for materials synthesis. Three specific goals are outlined in the project: 1) investigate the chemistry of iClick and its application to linking metal ions, 2) develop a method to dynamically tune the emission color of soluble gold-oligomers, and 3) exploit iClick synthesis to develop new conjugated Pt- and Ru-metallopolymers. Metallopolymers are on the cusp of revolutionizing the energy sector, information storage, and materials synthesis. Uniquely, transition metal chemistry marries polymer science in these hybrid materials wherein the metal ion imparts new properties unimaginable for organic polymers alone.

Investigating Application of LiDAR for Nuclear Power Plants

Many evaluation, assessment, and modeling tasks at nuclear power plants require spatial in-formation; this often requires physical visits to locations within the facility because the 2D or 3D schematics and current models do not contain enough detail or do not capture as-built and real-world conditions. These visits require extensive manual labor for not only the requesting party, but also support groups, such as security. Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) mapping is trying to solve that problem by providing very detailed 3D models for low costs. However, the use of these models can be very limited because either component reference information is missing and too costly to add or there is no way to extract specific spatial data needed for other tools. This report outlines two main efforts. First, to reduce the effort of “Tagging” data in large 3D models, a general Application Programming Interface (API) was developed to import a variety of existing plant database information into a 3D-visualization engine. Filters allow the user to have only zone-specific items listed; then, they can simply click and assign the information to a specific spot or component in the 3D model. The second part of the work is the development of an interface for importing pieces from the3D-LiDAR model into other systems needed for modeling and simulation, outlined around fire modeling. This interface allows for the retrieval of item location and boundaries, enabling the auto generation of models for varying tools.

Fabrication of Biofunctionalized PVA/PEI Nanofibers for Rare Earth Element Extraction from Coal Mine Tailings

The need for rare earth elements (REEs) for new technology is becoming increasingly stiff with demand at a record high. Biological ligands like lanmodulin and lanthanide binding tags (LBT) have gained noticeable attention for their selective extraction of valuable lanthanide metals in aqueous solution. Building on previous work using microbeads as the extraction media, we propose that nanofibers can improve extraction capabilities. Nanofibers could provide more efficient flow and higher extraction yields due to their high surface area to volume ratio. Relying on thiolmaleimide click chemistry as the biological ligand immobilization route, electrospinning as the nanofiber manufacturing method, and numerous characterization techniques, we produced electrospinning polymer solutions and nanofibers with a maximum neodymium adsorbent capacity of 12.1 μmol/g of extraction media immobilized with LBT. Although the prior work produced an extraction media with an equivalent capacity of ~40 μmol/g, the electrospinning process is much more economical and scalable. This work paves the way for an industrially relevant, environmentally-friendly REE extraction material. Further work is required to produce higher quality nanofibers, to investigate common ion interference with REE adsorbance, and to scale production up to a relevant scale.

To support these goals, the TCOE team used multiple platforms and approaches. Notable achievements include: (1) 12 newsletter issues sent to 185 subscribers with an average open rate of 56.4%. (2) 10 Triton Stories, resulting in 2,871 collective views contributing to 46% of all Triton website views. (3) 78 Triton-specific social media posts, which generated a total of 81,896 impressions, 1,037 post-clicks, and 7,814 video views. (4) 6,320 Triton website views with increased search engine optimization ranking in several categories. (5) 3 Triton researchers interviewed as guests on two different podcasts, Water Women and Big Deep: An Ocean Podcast. (6) A Triton special issue of the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering (JMSE) featuring 10 peer reviewed publications. All articles ranked in the top 25%, and two in the top 5%, for digital attention of all research outputs scored by Altmetric. (7) A seven-part webinar series called Triton Talks to share and discuss research and results from the research published in the JMSE special issue. Triton leveraged unique opportunities, particularly the JMSE special issue, to disseminate research results to end users, educate stakeholders, and gain valuable feedback. These concerted communication efforts increased exposure across platforms ultimately resulting in greater reach and access across audiences. Based on audience analyses of webinar attendees and newsletter subscribers, the TCOE team was able to successfully engage with general audiences, research partners, and ME stakeholders, including subject matter experts from government agencies, research organizations, and the regulatory community. The TCOE task established channels to gather input and create opportunities for two-way communication with people engaged with Triton’s outreach efforts. The feedback received will enable the TCOE team to support its goals for ongoing evaluation of outreach and engagement tools while continuing to build trust in the ME community and educate diverse audiences about the impactful research conducted by the Triton Initiative. This report is a Triton Initiative Fiscal Year 2022 Quarter 4 Milestone Deliverable due to the DOE WPTO Sponsor on 9/30/2022. An updated version to include data through 9/30/2022 will be delivered in October 2022.

Live-Cell Quantum Dot-Based Tracking of Plant & Microbial Extracellular Vesicles

All cellular organisms examined to date release various types of small vesicles called extracellular vesicles (EVs). They were originally thought to be unimportant, but research into EVs as carriers of key messages for communication within large, multicellular organisms or between interacting organisms has gained interest in many different scientific areas of study. Recently, it was discovered that both plants and their pathogenic fungi generate EVs and they are important vehicles for sending plant signals to thwart invasion by fungal pathogens, and in response, fungi use EVs to help evade plant defenses. This project aimed to develop new ways to visualize EVs and their potential nucleic acid cargo isolated from the crop plant, sorghum. We adapted a click chemistry-based method for making quantum dot-based RNA sensors, which will be a useful tool for others studying small RNAs. These sensors were not used detect RNA in sorghum EVs because unlike EVs from Arabidopsis, sorghum EVs were not enriched for specific small RNAs. This interesting difference shifted the project in an exciting direction, which focused on comparing EV proteomes. Our study discovered that greater than 60% of Arabidopsis EV proteins were also found in the sorghum EV proteome, revealing a partial conservation between a eudicot and monocot plant. These studies have raised new, fundamental questions on the conserved function of EVs in plants.

In the teaching and learning events of our life, there are characters who play key roles. Teachers, mentors, relatives, novels, songs, newspaper columns, often help us understand the questions in our heads. However, we often reject them because they are messages or attitudes from older people and the generation gap does not allow us to understand them well. The times of covid-19 have us locked up at home. They alert us that precisely “elderly people” are a vulnerable group. Also, we have been asked to take care of grandparents. If we are lucky enough to have an internet connection, it seems that we can learn anything we want with just one click. This could lead us to explore only what we find attractive, easy and comfortable. With this testimony, I invite you to acknowledge on the role of the elderly in the learning of entire generations. I call for openness towards diverse voices and for the understanding that we all play a role in moving towards a more mature society.
