Achieving precise multiparameter measurements with distributed optical fiber sensor using wavelength diversity and deep neural networks
The development of advanced distributed optical fiber sensing systems that are capable of performing accurate and spatially resolved multiparameter measurements is of great interest to a wide range of scientific and industrial applications. Here, in this paper, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a wavelength diversity based advanced distributed optical fiber sensor system to accomplish multiparameter sensing while greatly enhancing measurement accuracy. A suite of deep neural network (DNN) algorithms are developed and verified for data denoising, rapid Brillouin frequency shift estimation, and vibration data event classification. As a proof-of-concept, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed advanced wavelength diversity distributed fiber sensor system assisted by DNN for simultaneous, independent measurements of static strain, temperature, and acoustic vibrations over a 25 km long sensing fiber at 3 m spatial resolution. These results suggest the potential for an intelligent multiparameter monitoring system with enhanced performance in advanced structural health monitoring applications.

Improving ProtoDUNE pion cross-section measurements with NuGraph Michel-electron tagging
Understanding hadron-argon interactions is essential for precise neutrino energy reconstruction and final-state interaction modeling in liquid-argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) experiments such as DUNE. In particular, pion absorption and charge-exchange processes constitute significant sources of systematic uncertainty in neutrino oscillation measurements. ProtoDUNE-SP, a large-scale LArTPC prototype operated at the CERN Neutrino Platform and exposed to charged-particle test beams in the few-GeV range, enables direct measurements of these processes. This work focuses on the measurement of differential cross sections for pion absorption and charge exchange using the 2 GeV/c pion beam data from the ProtoDUNE-SP run. A key component of this analysis is the identification of Michel electrons from $\pi \rightarrow \mu \rightarrow e$ decay chains, which helps separate different interaction topologies and improves background rejection. Michel electron identification will also assist in reliably calibrating the electromagnetic response in ProtoDUNE-SP data and for the future DUNE detectors. In this analysis, we apply NuGraph to identify Michel electrons. NuGraph is a graph neural network that models detector hits as nodes connected by spatial and temporal edges for particle and topology classification in LArTPC detectors. We first benchmark NuGraph’s Michel electron classification performance using ICEBERG data, a small-scale LArTPC prototype used for DUNE electronics and reconstruction development, and then transfer the approach to ProtoDUNE-SP. This poster presents the analysis strategy, NuGraph-based classification studies, and discusses how these developments are expected to improve the pion cross-section measurement.

Fracture Characterization Via AI‐Assisted Analysis of Temperature Logs
Abstract Fractures control fluid flow, mass transport, and heat transfer in a geothermal reservoir. This makes accurate characterization of fracture networks a prerequisite for optimal design and control of a reservoir's exploitation. We develop a deep‐learning procedure to identify fracture locations via interpretation of temporally and spatially continuous downhole temperature measurements. A long short‐term memory fully convolutional network (LSTM‐FCN) is used both to capture long‐term dependencies in sequential temperature data and to distill local features around fractures. A wellbore and fractured‐reservoir thermal model is established to generate temperature data for network training. The trained LSTM‐FCN exhibits a unique ability to detect multiple fractures intersecting a borehole. We use the LSTM‐FCN algorithm to evaluate the effectiveness of different‐stage wellbore temperature measurements on fracture detection in a complex fractured system. Our experiments reveal that the use of various‐stage temperature information as an input feature set improves the robustness of fracture detection to noise interference. This study indicates the practical feasibility of obtaining accurate fracture‐network reconstructions from temperature signals, at reasonable computational cost.

Physics-informed machine learning analysis for nanoscale grain mapping by synchrotron Laue microdiffraction
Understanding the grain morphology, orientation distribution and crystal structure of nanocrystals is essential for optimizing the mechanical and physical properties of functional materials. Synchrotron X-ray Laue microdiffraction is a powerful technique for characterizing crystal structures and orientation mapping using focused X-rays. However, when the grain sizes are smaller than the beam size, mixed peaks in the Laue pattern from neighboring grains limit the resolution of grain morphology mapping. We propose a physics-informed machine learning (PIML) approach that combines a convolutional neural network feature extractor with a physics-informed filtering algorithm to overcome the spatial resolution limits of X-rays, achieving nanoscale resolution for grain mapping. Our PIML method successfully resolves the grain size, orientation distribution and morphology of Au nanocrystals through synchrotron microdiffraction scans, showing good agreement with electron backscatter diffraction results. This PIML-assisted synchrotron microdiffraction analysis can be generalized to other diffraction-based probes, enabling the characterization of nanosized structures with micrometre-sized probes.

Data for Autonomous Transportation Awareness: Data Exchange Use Cases, Standards, and Barriers
This report examines the critical data exchanges between automated vehicle (AV) service providers and the cities and municipalities they serve. It assists municipal authorities in navigating the often complex and real-time digital data exchanges needed to support AV mobility services, with emphasis in three areas: (1) critical safety data for broad-area situational awareness of hazards typically associated emergency dispatch or roadway work zones; (2) performance metrics of AV services that inform the quantity, quality, spatial extents, and impact on the roadway network; and (3) regulatory and policy information, particularly dynamic information that governs how AV services interact with the roadway network, with emphasis on curb space. The report reviews existing practices and emerging protocols and standards and identifies key gaps to address moving forward.

Exploring electron-beam induced modifications of materials with machine-learning assisted high temporal resolution electron microscopy
Directed atomic fabrication using an aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) opens new pathways for atomic engineering of functional materials. In this approach, the electron beam is used to actively alter the atomic structure through electron beam induced irradiation processes. One of the impediments that has limited widespread use thus far has been the ability to understand the fundamental mechanisms of atomic transformation pathways at high spatiotemporal resolution. Here, we develop a workflow for obtaining and analyzing high-speed spiral scan STEM data, up to 100 fps, to track the atomic fabrication process during nanopore milling in monolayer MoS 2 . An automated feedback-controlled electron beam positioning system combined with deep convolution neural network (DCNN) was used to decipher fast but low signal-to-noise datasets and classify time-resolved atom positions and nature of their evolving atomic defect configurations. Through this automated decoding, the initial atomic disordering and reordering processes leading to nanopore formation was able to be studied across various timescales. Using these experimental workflows a greater degree of speed and information can be extracted from small datasets without compromising spatial resolution. This approach can be adapted to other 2D materials systems to gain further insights into the defect formation necessary to inform future automated fabrication techniques utilizing the STEM electron beam.

Localization of proteins involved in the biogenesis and repair of the photosynthetic apparatus to thylakoid subdomains in Arabidopsis
Abstract Thylakoid membranes in chloroplasts and cyanobacteria harbor the multisubunit protein complexes that catalyze the light reactions of photosynthesis. In plant chloroplasts, the thylakoid membrane system comprises a highly organized network with several subcompartments that differ in composition and morphology: grana stacks, unstacked stromal lamellae, and grana margins at the interface between stacked and unstacked regions. The localization of components of the photosynthetic apparatus among these subcompartments has been well characterized. However, less is known about the localization of proteins involved in the biogenesis and repair of the photosynthetic apparatus, the partitioning of proteins between two recently resolved components of the traditional margin fraction (refined margins and curvature), and the effects of light on these features. In this study, we analyzed the partitioning of numerous thylakoid biogenesis and repair factors among grana, curvature, refined margin, and stromal lamellae fractions of Arabidopsis thylakoid membranes, comparing the results from illuminated and dark‐adapted plants. Several proteins previously shown to localize to a margin fraction partitioned in varying ways among the resolved curvature and refined margin fractions. For example, the ALB3 insertase and FtsH protease involved in photosystem II (PSII) repair were concentrated in the refined margin fraction, whereas TAT translocon subunits and proteins involved in early steps in photosystem assembly were concentrated in the curvature fraction. By contrast, two photosystem assembly factors that facilitate late assembly steps were depleted from the curvature fraction. The enrichment of the PSII subunit OE23/PsbP in the curvature fraction set it apart from other PSII subunits, supporting the previous conjecture that OE23/PsbP assists in PSII biogenesis and/or repair. The PSII assembly factor PAM68 partitioned differently among thylakoid fractions from dark‐adapted plants and illuminated plants and was the only analyzed protein to convincingly do so. These results demonstrate an unanticipated spatial heterogeneity of photosystem biogenesis and repair functions in thylakoid membranes and reveal the curvature fraction to be a focal point of early photosystem biogenesis.
