Robustifying Links To Combat Reference Rot
Links to web resources frequently break, and linked content can change at unpredictable rates. These dynamics of the Web are detrimental when references to web resources provide evidence or supporting information. In this paper, we highlight the significance of reference rot, provide an overview of existing techniques and their characteristics to address it, and introduce our Robust Links approach, including its web service and underlying API. Robustifying links offers a proactive, uniform, and machine-actionable way to combat reference rot. In addition, we discuss our reasoning and approach aimed at keeping the approach functional for the long term. To showcase our approach, we have robustified all links in this article.

A new database website for nuclear level densities
We introduce a new open-access, web-based database (http://nld.ascsn.net), Current Archive of Nuclear Density of Levels (CANDL), that hosts experimental nuclear level density (NLD) datasets from a variety of techniques and energy ranges. Built using the Dash framework in Python, the database is designed to be interactive and user-friendly, allowing researchers to search, visualize, fit, and export NLD data with minimal effort. This resource includes data extracted from evaporation spectra, Oslo method variants, and other experimental techniques that cover excitation energies beyond the neutron resonance region. The database supports on-the-fly fitting with two widely-used phenomenological models—the Constant Temperature (CT) model and the Back-Shifted Fermi Gas (BSFG) model—selected for their simplicity and computational efficiency. Future versions aim to include additional datasets and model types, as well as easy-to-use interfaces to data science techniques. Here, this platform offers a vital tool for the nuclear physics, astrophysics, medicine, and reactor design communities.

Interactive Web Application for Traffic Simulation Data Management and Visualization
As traffic simulation software becomes more effective for realistically simulating and analyzing traffic dynamics and vehicle interactions on the mesoscopic and microscopic level, the management, dissemination, and collaborative visualization of traffic simulation results produced by individual transportation planners presents a significant challenge. Existing online content management systems have a very limited capability in allowing users to query specific traffic simulation scenarios and geospatially visualize simulation results through shareable and interactive web interfaces. This paper presents a web-based application for promoting the archiving, sharing, and visualization of large-scale traffic simulation outputs. The application is developed to enhance cyber-physical controls, communications, and public education for collaborative transportation planning. Unique features of the web application include: (a) allowing users to upload their new traffic simulation scenarios (parameters and outputs), as well as search existing scenarios using easily accessible interfaces; (b) optimizing simulation output files with heterogeneous data formats and projected coordinate systems for web-based storage and management using a scalable and searchable data/metadata standard; (c) standardizing user-uploaded simulation outputs using web interfaces and data processing libraries with parallel computing capacity; and (d) providing shareable web visual interfaces for visualizing the traffic flow and signal information stored in simulation outputs (e.g., regional traffic patterns and individual vehicle interactions) and visually comparing multiple simulation outputs both spatially and temporally. Furthermore, the paper presents the conceptual design and implementation of this application, and demonstrates the application’s performance for sharing, comparing, and visualizing simulation outputs from VISSIM and SUMO, two commonly used traffic simulation software programs.

Biofuels Information Center
The purpose of the Biofuels Information Center (BIC) task is to provide relevant data, information, reports, and web-based tools to all bioenergy stakeholders. The BIC task began in FY08 to meet the requirement under Title II, Sec. 229 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) requires DOE to develop a "Biofuels and Biorefinery Information Center". The BIC task supports biofuels pages content on the EERE's most visited website - the Alternative Fuels Data Center (AFDC http://www.afdc.energy.gov) and the Bioenergy Atlas tools (currently archived) (previous address https://maps.nrel.gov). This task results in more than 1.7 million web pageviews (an instance of an internet user visiting a webpage) per year. In FY22, the task completed the final year of the 5 year USDA Biofuels Infrastructure Partnership (BIP). The USDA BIP expanded infrastructure for E15 and/or E85 to approximately 850 stations and NREL received and reviewed data for quality analyzed all infrastructure and sales data collected by USDA. Stations are privately held and previously it was difficult to ascertain infrastructure and sales data. This unique dataset allows insight into infrastructure data (number of pumps and tanks, costs to install new equipment) and sales data (price and volume for E10, E15, E85, and diesel by month). The 2021 USDA BIP National Summary Report is with DOE for review prior to publication. Future work will include the biannual Bioenergy Industry Status Report (4 previous versions have been published) . The task also supports the principal investigator's time to engage stakeholders on infrastructure and deployment of biofuels. This includes leading, membership, and participation in the following roles: member Board of Advisors at the Fuels Institute, voting member for multiple UL standards committees, Co-Chair of the Infrastructure team at Agriculture/Auto/Ethanol, Member of Coordination Research Council's ULSD Corrosion Committee. The Principal investigator routinely responds to industry inquires to assist in deployment of biofuels regularly.

Archival, anonymization and presentation of HTCondor logs with GlideinMonitor
GlideinWMS is a pilot framework to provide uniform and reliable HTCondor clusters using heterogeneous and unreliable resources. The Glideins are pilot jobs that are sent to the selected nodes, test them, set them up as desired by the user jobs, and ultimately start an HTCondor schedd to join an elastic pool. These Glideins collect information that is very useful to evaluate the health and efficiency of the worker nodes and invaluable to troubleshoot when something goes wrong. This data, including local stats, the results of all the tests, and the HTCondor log files, is packed and sent to the GlideinWMS Factory. To access this information, developers and troubleshooters must exchange emails with Factory operators and dig manually into files. Furthermore, these files contain also information like email and IP addresses, and user IDs, that we want to protect and limit access to. GlideinMonitor is a Web application to make these logs more accessible and useful: it organizes the logs in an efficient compressed archive; it allows to search, unpack, and inspect them, all in a convenient and secure Web interface; via plugins like the log anonymizer, it can redact protected information preserving the parts useful for troubleshooting.

RCSB protein data Bank: Next‐generation advanced search for exploration of experimental structures and computed structure models
Abstract The Protein Data Bank (PDB), established in 1971, is the primary global, open‐access archive for experimentally determined 3D macromolecular structures (proteins, RNA, DNA). The research‐focused RCSB.org web‐portal provides access to these data alongside more than one million machine‐learning‐predicted structure models, greatly expanding the available structural landscape. Rapid growth of both experimental and computational structures has increased the need for powerful yet accessible search tools that serve a broad and diverse scientific community. Herein, we describe a redesigned RCSB Protein Data Bank RCSB.org Advanced Search capability that supports intuitive discovery of 3D structures through a unified interface. This interface integrates annotation‐, sequence‐, and 3D structure‐based searches, embeds an interactive 3D viewer, and incorporates curated biological knowledge, such as catalytic site definitions from Mechanism and Catalytic Site Atlas and ligand‐guided structural motifs, for constructing geometry‐driven queries. A new Chemical Search tool allows definition of chemical queries via an integrated drawing tool or standard identifiers, seamlessly combining them with annotation filters. By allowing query definition directly within spatial and chemical contexts, these search interfaces reduce the need for detailed knowledge of residue numbering, chain identifiers, or external cheminformatics software. This capability enables efficient exploration of structures, chemical diversity, and structure–function relationships across all life domains. The redesigned interfaces can be accessed directly at rcsb.org/search/advanced for Advanced Search and rcsb.org/search/chemical for Chemical Search.

Aggregate attack surface management for network discovery of operational technology
Interconnectivity has become a substratum of technology as the benefits of data-driven functionality are being realized in nearly all industries. Increased connectivity of Operational Technology (OT) exacerbates cyber risks because Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are becoming exposed to the Internet. These exposures are often done inadvertently through misconfigurations as additional network devices come online. Attack surface management (ASM) platforms can be used to identify vulnerabilities by performing external network discovery over the Internet using web spiders. These web spiders enable big data analytics of Internet of Things (IoT) devices as identifiable information of Internet-exposed equipment are archived in searchable databases that are made publicly available. There are a multitude of ASM service providers on the market. Here, this study was conducted to evaluate several commonly known tools to determine the aggregate attack surface of control systems. Queries were crafted by targeting commonly known manufacturers and communication protocols found in OT networks. Identified devices were that categorized based on technology types. Each query was replicated between several tools to target identical ICS equipment. Findings in this paper suggested a significant variance in the exposures discovered by each tool, but unique contributions were identified for each tool when a merged attack surface was derived. Therefore, all tools should be used in aggregate.
