FREDA: A Web Application for the Processing, Analysis, and Visualization of Fourier‐Transform Mass Spectrometry Data

The high-resolution measurement capability of Fourier-transform mass spectrometry (FT-MS) has made it a necessity for exploring the molecular composition of complex organic mixtures, like soil, plant, aquatic, and petroleum samples. This demand has driven a need for informatics tools to explore and analyze FT-MS data in a robust and reproducible manner. FREDA is an interactive web application developed to enable spectrometrists to format, process, and explore their FT-MS data without the need for statistical programming expertise. FREDA was built to explore outputs from a molecular identification tool, like CoreMS, and provide a suite of methods to filter data, compute chemical properties of peaks, statistically compare samples and groups of samples, conduct exploratory data analysis, and download the results with a report detailing all steps conducted. To demonstrate the utility of FREDA, an example analysis was conducted using FT-MS data from a soil microbiology study of samples collected in two different soil depths at the Sphagnum bog forest north of Grand Rapids, Minnesota. Differences between the two depths are observed using Kendrick, Gibbs free energy, and van Krevelen plots. G-tests are used to quantify a significant difference between the groups. All analyses and plotting are conducted using only the FREDA application. FREDA is an open-source and readily available web application that allows users to explore and make statistically valid conclusions about their FT-MS data. The application is available online (https://map.emsl.pnnl.gov/app/freda) with a tutorial web series (https://youtu.be/k5HLE2kNSBY?si=yB6sGoyvzxrFf5MP) and freely accessible code on Github (https://github.com/EMSL-Computing/FREDA).

OmicsMLMentor: A Web Application for Guided Machine Learning Analysis of Omics Data

Expression-based omics technologies (e.g. proteomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics, etc.) increasingly rely on supervised and unsupervised machine learning (ML) models to find key biomolecules distinguishing conditions, identify natural groupings in biological data, or generate predictions for outcomes of interest. Fitting ML models to omics data presents several challenges, including handling missing data, selecting a normalization method, choosing a valid model, and optimizing hyperparameters, all requiring statistical programming skills to address these challenges. Thus, the open-source web application SLOPE was designed to lower the barrier to ML modeling for omics data. SLOPE supports the fitting of 15 ML models (10 supervised and 5 unsupervised) tailored to omics datasets, such as proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics, and transcriptomics. SLOPE offers several omics-specific features, including methods for handling missingness (imputation, conversion, removal), normalization tests, ranking of models based on the structure of a user’s data and user input, and optimal hyperparameter selections using cross-validation splits. By streamlining ML workflows for omics analysis, SLOPE address critical gaps in existing online web tools, facilitating a broader adoption of these models for omics research. Here, SLOPE is applied to data from a lignin exposure study to highlight the workflow for fitting both supervised and unsupervised models to data.

nmRanalysis: An Open-Source Web Application for Semi-automated NMR Metabolite Profiling

Though data acquisition and initial signal pre-processing of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra have achieved high degrees of automation, downstream processing - specifically the profiling of spectra - has bottlenecked the overall NMR analysis workflow. Several efforts have been made to mitigate this bottleneck, but these solutions often trade an increase in automation for limitations elsewhere. Here, in this technical note, we introduce nmRanalysis, a user-friendly web-application that integrates the strengths of existing profiling tools for a more automated profiling workflow. nmRa-nalysis additionally incorporates novel features, including a machine-learning-driven recommender system for me-tabolite identification, further increasing the utility of nmRanalysis over the individual tools that it incorporates.

MODE: A Web Application for Interactive Visualization and Exploration of Omics Data

Studies generating transcriptomics, proteomics, lipidomics, and metabolomics (colloquially referred to as “omics”) data allow researchers to find biomarkers or molecular targets, or understand complex biological structures and functions by identifying changes in biomolecule abundance and expression between experimental conditions. Omics data is multi-dimensional and oftentimes summarization techniques such as principal component analysis (PCA) are used to identify high-level patterns in data. Though useful, these summaries don’t allow exploration of detailed patterns in omics data that may have biological relevance. The use of interactive HTML displays with plots allows researchers to interact with omics data at a detailed level, but building these displays requires significant coding expertise. To overcome this barrier, the software MODE was built to empower users to build their own interactive HTML displays to support scientific discovery. These displays are easily shareable, do not depend on a specific operating system, and allow users to effortlessly sort and filter plots by categorical or numerical variables. MODE allows users to build and share these displays with several options for plot design and meta selection. In conclusion, the MODE web application and its capabilities are presented and then demonstrated on lipidomics data from a leaf wounding study.

Modern control system applications at Fermilab with Dart and Flutter

The control system at Fermilab is undergoing an unprecedented modernization effort. Hundreds of legacy applications originally developed with technology from the early nineties will be replaced with a suite of modern web applications. The selection of an user interface framework is a key technology decision that will impact on all the applications developed over the next decade. The Controls department at Fermilab has decided to use Google’s Dart language and Flutter framework for future application development. In this paper we will discuss the decision process that selected Dart/Flutter and the development of early general purpose control system applications with the framework.

useeio-infra-app

This GitHub repository hosts the source code to an RShiny web application that implements the U.S. Environmentally-Extended Input-Output (USEEIO) model in order to conduct a screening-level life cycle analysis. The USEEIO model is an open-source model developed and maintained by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), along with colleagues and contractors, and is available on GitHub (https://github.com/USEPA/USEEIO). The USEEIO model incorporates environmental data into pre-existing Economic Input-Output Models, which look at the interdependence of different economic industries. In this web application, the focus is on energy infrastructure applications; however, it can be used to implement USEEIO in any area for which this model is applicable.

The Integration of The Cloudflare WAF

HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) is a standard that ensures website visitor’s traffic is always sent using HTTPS ensuring that all traffic is protected during transit. This initiative was adopted in 2012 by the IETF and has grown in popularity all around the world. Because the traffic is encrypted with TLS/SSL, it can be used by attackers to bypass various cybersecurity capabilities such as a site firewall. To address this lack of visibility into encrypted traffic in motion, the CST at Fermilab acquired the Cloudflare Web Application Firewall (WAF). To help in the implementation and integration of the Cloudflare WAF, I was directed to learn about and aid in this process. This has been a profound learning experience into the on-goings of project management, web application firewalls, collaboration, and networking.

Redesign of the Timeline Generator at Fermilab using a web-based Flutter Application, GraphQL API and an IOC

Redesign of the Timeline Generator at Fermilab using a web-based Flutter application, GraphQL API and an IOC ABSTRACT = The control system at Fermilab is undergoing an evolution with a shift towards web-based applications with connections to the EPICS infrastructure. The Timeline Generator (TLG) is an application that serves to coordinate events across the lab using different timing links. These links include the Tevatron clock (TCLK), a 10 MHz serial link with events encoded at 20Hz and Ma-chine Data (MDAT), a communication link with states encoded at 720Hz. This paper covers the redesign of the major components of the TLG. This includes a web-based Flutter application for building timelines. A placement service is in use that has a GraphQL interface and uses a timeline input to compute a schedule of events and states. The Flutter application sends this computed schedule to the TLG IOC via a GraphQL interface to the Data Pool Manager (DPM). The TLG IOC runs on an Arria FPGA, the Accelerator Clock Generator (ACLK-GEN), which is responsible for writing the events and states on to the different timing links.

New technology for an ancient fish: A lamprey life cycle modeling tool with an R Shiny application

Lampreys (Petromyzontiformes) are an ancient group of fishes with complex life histories. We created a life cycle model that includes an R Shiny interactive web application interface to simulate abundance by life stage. This will allow scientists and managers to connect available demographic information in a framework that can be applied to questions regarding lamprey biology and conservation. We used Pacific lamprey ( Entosphenus tridentatus ) as a case study to highlight the utility of this model. We applied a global sensitivity analysis to explore the importance of individual life stage parameters to overall population size, and to better understand the implications of existing gaps in knowledge. We also provided example analyses of selected management scenarios (dam passage, fish translocations, and hatchery additions) influencing Pacific lamprey in fresh water. These applications illustrate how the model can be applied to inform conservation efforts. This tool will provide new capabilities for users to explore their own questions about lamprey biology and conservation. Simulations can hone hypotheses and predictions, which can then be empirically tested in the real world.

PRIMO – The Oil & Gas Well Plugging Optimizer

This work presents PRIMO’s main capabilities and introduces the PRIMO web application, an intuitive user interface that leverages our sophisticated mathematical optimization model to rigorously optimize P&A priorities and plugging campaign efficiency. The web app simplifies user interaction, provides a powerful data management framework, and supports a broad user base (e.g., state agencies, well owners/operators, and plugging companies) to use PRIMO for decision-making. Specifically, we provide a demonstration of how to input the information on candidate wells, plugging campaign budget, user-defined priority and efficiency criteria to PRIMO. A real-world case study that consists of 1411 oil and gas wells and impact and efficiency priorities (e.g., well age, well proximity to schools/hospitals, well accessibility, distance between wells in projects) is presented to showcase PRIMO’s core capabilities: (i) ranking a candidate well population based on priorities, (ii) recommending high-impact and high-efficiency P&A projects, and (iii) assigning impact and efficiency scores to projects allowing for rigorous quantitative comparison among them.

Improving Runtime Performance of Tensor Computations using Rust From Python

In this work, we investigate improving the runtime performance of key computational kernels in the Python Tensor Toolbox (pyttb), a package for analyzing tensor data across a wide variety of applications. Recent runtime performance improvements have been demonstrated using Rust, a compiled language, from Python via extension modules leveraging the Python C API—e.g., web applications, data parsing, data validation, etc. Using this same approach, we study the runtime performance of key tensor kernels of increasing complexity, from simple kernels involving sums of products over data accessed through single and nested loops to more advanced tensor multiplication kernels that are key in low-rank tensor decomposition and tensor regression algorithms. In numerical experiments involving synthetically generated tensor data of various sizes and these tensor kernels, we demonstrate consistent improvements in runtime performance when using Rust from Python over 1) using Python alone, 2) using Python and the Numba just-in-time Python compiler (for loop-based kernels), and 3) using the NumPy Python package for scientific computing (for pyttb kernels).

Dual Context: Leveraging Structured Application Context for Code Generation and Runtime Feature Activation via Chat Interfaces

Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities into software applications typically involves two common paths. For developers, AI assists in generating and documenting source code and other related software engineering efforts. For users, AI assists them through question-and-answer exchanges via chatbots. Both approaches have their value, but neither effectively leverages the modularity of component-based architectures that modern web application frameworks offer. We implement a proof of concept within a centralized suite of applications used for the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Data Center Operational Tools, where we introduce a third integration path through the ARM Context Engine (ACE). ACE is a context driven system that uses structured contextual specifications to enable Large Language Models (LLMs) to render interactive and feature-rich user interface (UI) components directly within chat responses, alongside or in place of conventional text outputs. These specifications serve two important purposes across what we call code context and UI context. Code context provides AI-assisted development tools with structured application knowledge beyond raw code, including component relationships, architectural patterns and schematic information, enabling the generation of consistent, well-structured code. UI context defines the rules for enabling and rendering component features at runtime based on the user's natural language input, allowing end users to activate capabilities such as data export, filtering, and pagination within chat responses, without requiring code changes or redeployment. We demonstrate, through a comparative evaluation against general-purpose AI chatbots, that context-driven component rendering provides interactive capabilities that text-based responses cannot replicate, including deterministic component behavior, application-consistent design language, and on-demand feature activation. A development effort comparison further shows that features that traditionally require multi-step development cycles can be activated with a single naturallanguage request. In this ongoing work, we present ACE as an emerging approach to AI integration that positions modular, well-documented software architecture as the foundation for AI-ready applications. ACE treats context as a shared resource across both development and user-facing AI, bringing cohesion to conventionally disconnected efforts, bridging developer tooling and end-user capabilities within a single framework.
