Measuring and Modeling Shared Visual Attention

Multi-person teams are sometimes responsible for critical tasks, such as flying an airliner. Here we present a method using gaze tracking data to assess shared visual attention, a term we use to describe the situation where team members are attending to a common set of elements in the environment. Gaze data are quantized with respect to a set of N areas of interest (AOIs); these are then used to construct a time series of N dimensional vectors, with each vector component representing one of the AOIs, all set to 0 except for the component corresponding to the currently fixated AOI, which is set to 1. The resulting sequence of vectors can be averaged in time, with the result that each vector component represents the proportion of time that the corresponding AOI was fixated within the given time interval. We present two methods for comparing sequences of this sort, one based on computing the time-varying correlation of the averaged vectors, and another based on a chi-square test testing the hypothesis that the observed gaze proportions are drawn from identical probability distributions. We have evaluated the method using synthetic data sets, in which the behavior was modeled as a series of "activities," each of which was modeled as a first-order Markov process. By tabulating distributions for pairs of identical and disparate activities, we are able to perform a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, allowing us to choose appropriate criteria and estimate error rates. We have applied the methods to data from airline crews, collected in a high-fidelity flight simulator (Haslbeck, Gontar & Schubert, 2014). We conclude by considering the problem of automatic (blind) discovery of activities, using methods developed for text analysis.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) flux, amplicon sequencing and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS) data for pyrogenic organic matter (PYOM) amended soil incubations in lab, Madison, WI, 2021-22

This dataset comprises soil-pyrogenic organic matter (PyOM) incubation experiments conducted in a laboratory setting. The focus was on measuring carbon dioxide (CO2) flux emitted in the headspace of incubation jars over a one-month period. The aim was to estimate carbon mineralization from two different carbon fractions in PyOM, as well as carbon mineralization from soil organic carbon (SOC). Bacterial and fungal community profiles were tracked at various time points during the incubation to observe changes in the overall community and specific responders to PyOM. LC-MS analysis of soil samples was also performed to monitor changes in the soil's chemical composition.The provided dataset includes processed CO2 flux measurements obtained from the Picarro-multiplexer measurement setup for each sample incubation jar. This data is available in the "CO2Flux.csv" file. Additionally, the dataset includes CO2 flux data partitioned to estimate mean carbon mineralization from the two PyOM carbon fractions, bulk PyOM, and SOC. The cumulative carbon mineralization data is provided in "cml_respired.csv," while the rate of carbon mineralization data is in "rate_respired.csv." The file "cml_respired_lastcyc.csv" contains cumulative carbon mineralization data for the PyOM carbon fractions, bulk PyOM, and SOC throughout the entire incubation period.For the LC-MS analysis, the raw data can be found in the "20220721_NZ_PeakHeights_FinalAnalysis.csv" file, while sample metadata is provided in "20220721_NZpilot_Metadata.csv". Processed LC-MS data is available in the file "20220721_NZ_FINAL_msdat_sub3.csv". Lastly, the dataset includes the relative abundance data for bacterial genera that exhibited a significant positive response to the addition of PyOM produced at 350 degrees Celsius, which can be found in "resp_genera_350.csv".

Multi-modal dynamic radiography using short-pulse laser-generated probe beams

Radiography is an important tool for the interrogation of dynamic experiments in the fields of dynamic properties of materials, and in condensed matter, high explosive, and high-energy-density physics. Multi-modal radiography advances the hypothesis that combining the information delivered by multiple radiographic modalities can lead to more constrained (improved) “reconstruction” of the scene than can be obtained from a single probe. We identify four modalities: multi-probe, time sequence, multi-view, and multi-messenger. Multi-probe radiography is a promising candidate for a next-generation dynamic radiographic facility. High-energy X-rays are the most frequently used probe for dynamic radiography, although recent developments show the utility of proton (pRad), electron (eRad), and neutron probe beams. Because each probing species interacts with material in the radiographic scene through quantitatively different mechanisms, each returns independent information about the scene, which can add extra constraints to the reconstruction process. How to conduct detailed, quantitative “co-analysis” of multiple data streams remains an area of active research. Multi-beam, short-pulse, laser-generated probes offer sufficient dose, an appropriate spectrum, and appropriate spatio-temporal resolution to produce high-quality dynamic radiographs. This paper reports on technology development to advance the state of the art of multi-modal/multi-probe radiography and the pursuit of both deterministic and inferential (AI/ML assisted) co-analysis methodologies to produce more constrained reconstructions from multi-modal data.

The Analysis of Rush Orders Risk in Supply Chain: A Simulation Approach

Satisfying customers by delivering demands at agreed time, with competitive prices, and in satisfactory quality level are crucial requirements for supply chain survival. Incidence of risks in supply chain often causes sudden disruptions in the processes and consequently leads to customers losing their trust in a company's competence. Rush orders are considered to be one of the main types of supply chain risks due to their negative impact on the overall performance, Using integrated definition modeling approaches (i.e. IDEF0 & IDEF3) and simulation modeling technique, a comprehensive integrated model has been developed to assess rush order risks and examine two risk mitigation strategies. Detailed functions sequence and objects flow were conceptually modeled to reflect on macro and micro levels of the studied supply chain. Discrete event simulation models were then developed to assess and investigate the mitigation strategies of rush order risks, the objective of this is to minimize order cycle time and cost.

Organic Matter in Extraterrestrial Water-Bearing Salt Crystals

Introduction: Direct samples of early Solar System fluids are present in two thermally-metamorphosed ordinary chondrite regolith breccias (Monahans (1998) [H5] and Zag [H3-6]), which were found to contain brine-bearing halite (NaCl) crystals that have been added to the regolith of an S-type asteroid following asteroidal metamorphism [1, 2]. The brine-bearing halite grains were proposed to be formed on an icy C-type asteroids (possibly Ceres), and transferred to an S-type asteroid via cryovolcanic event(s) [3]. A unique aspect of these halites is that they contain abundant organic rich solid inclusions hosted within the halites alongside the water inclusions. Methods: We analyzed in detail the compositions of the organic solids and the amino acid content of the halite crystals with two-step laser desorption/laser ionization mass spectrometry (L(sup 2) MS), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES), nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS), and ultra-performance liquid chromatography fluorescence detection and quadrupole time of flight hybrid mass spectrometry (UPLC-FD/QToF-MS). Results and Discussion: The L(sup 2) MS results show signatures of low-mass polyaromatic hydro-carbons (PAHs) indicated by sequences of peaks separated by 14 atomic mass units (amu) due to successive addition of methylene (CH2) groups to the PAH skeletons [4]. Raman spectra of the micron-sized solid inclusions of the halites indicate the presence of abundant and highly variable organic matter that include a mixture of short-chain aliphatic compounds and macromolecular carbon. C-XANES analysis identified C-rich areas with peaks at 285.0 eV (aromatic C=C) and 286.6 eV (vinyl-keto C=O). However, there is no 1s-sigma* exciton peak (291.7 eV) that is indicative of the development of graphene structure [5], which suggests the organics were synthesized cold. Na-noSIMS analyses show C-rich and N-rich areas that exhibit similar isotopic values with that of the IOM in the unweathered CR chondrites and less metamorphosed meteorites [6], and are moderately enriched in N-15 (delta N-15 = 106.1-164.5 per mille). The total amino acid distribution and abundance of the Zag matrix (approximately 1,940 parts per billion [ppb]) is comparable to other ordinary chondrites (60-3,330 ppb) [7, 8]. While the Zag matrix is gamma-ABA and EACA-deficient, the halite is shown to exhibit an opposite trend and is almost depleted in amino acids. The striking difference in the amino acid contents between the halite and matrix indicates their separate synthetic origins. Conclusion: Abundant, primitive, and highly-diverse N-15-rich organic compounds were detected in brine-water bearing halite crystals that were synthesized on a cryovolcanically-active asteroid. Our study suggests that the asteroidal parent body where the halite precipitated, potentially Ceres, is a host to abundance large variety organic precursors. Insoluble organic matter and amino acids can be synthesized from similar organic precusors under hydrous conditions [9].We envision that similar organic synthetic processes could have occurred on Ceres that synthesized organic solids as well as biologically relevant molecules.

Innovating the next generation of commercial smart building software

Nearly 30% of commercial building energy use is wasted due to equipment faults and HVAC controls problems. The result is increased emissions, compromised comfort and productivity, and less reliable coordination of building power needs with a clean grid. The energy impact alone represents $17 billion in potential savings. Today’s smart building software provides a robust solution to address these operational deficiencies. Energy management and information systems (EMIS) are saving up to 9% on average, with two-year paybacks. They are being incorporated into energy management processes, commissioning services, and utility programs. As effective as they are, two barriers prevent even deeper benefits; limited personnel to fix problems once they are identified, and the expense and time to manually implement changes in control systems. In partnership with the research community, the EMIS industry is developing new capabilities to overcome these barriers. Moving beyond siloed products for either fault detection and diagnostics, or optimal control, these new capabilities empower users to not only automatically identify faults, but also to push corrective action, and control improvements to their buildings. In this paper, several areas for enhancements are documented: ‘one-time’ correction of faults such as setpoints, schedules, and economizer lockouts; short-term active testing for automated proportional integral derivative (PID) loop tuning and functional testing; and continuous supervisory control for demand flexibility and year-round efficiency. Results are presented from a pair of partner implementations out of a dozen providers integrating these enhancements into their products, including field tests from across the country, and insights into operator acceptance and integration into operations and maintenance practices.

Coassembly and binning of a twenty-year metagenomic time-series from Lake Mendota

Abstract The North Temperate Lakes Long-Term Ecological Research (NTL-LTER) program has been extensively used to improve understanding of how aquatic ecosystems respond to environmental stressors, climate fluctuations, and human activities. Here, we report on the metagenomes of samples collected between 2000 and 2019 from Lake Mendota, a freshwater eutrophic lake within the NTL-LTER site. We utilized the distributed metagenome assembler MetaHipMer to coassemble over 10 terabases (Tbp) of data from 471 individual Illumina-sequenced metagenomes. A total of 95,523,664 contigs were assembled and binned to generate 1,894 non-redundant metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) with ≥50% completeness and ≤10% contamination. Phylogenomic analysis revealed that the MAGs were nearly exclusively bacterial, dominated by Pseudomonadota (Proteobacteria, N = 623) and Bacteroidota (N = 321). Nine eukaryotic MAGs were identified by eukCC with six assigned to the phylum Chlorophyta. Additionally, 6,350 high-quality viral sequences were identified by geNomad with the majority classified in the phylum Uroviricota. This expansive coassembled metagenomic dataset provides an unprecedented foundation to advance understanding of microbial communities in freshwater ecosystems and explore temporal ecosystem dynamics.

Data Longevity Beyond 2010

The current cache of S/X-band geodetic/astrometric VLBI data accumulated since 1979 is approx. 5 million observations and is increasing by approx. 300,000 observations per year. The long time interval and access to all such VLBI data for re-analysis have contributed to their usefulness for the terrestrial and celestial reference frames, Earth orientation parameters, tidal and non-tidal loading, and troposphere. While data access and integrity have been maintained through the Mark III data base system as storage devices and media have evolved, past transitions have been major projects. A new format and retention concept to ensure eternal archiving and access should make use of self-documentation, generalized media, network connectivity and multiple redundancy. Similarly permanent organizations or sequences of organizations are also necessary.

Oxidation of Glycolate in the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) Recycle Collection Tank - 20305

The Savannah River Site's Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) operations are being upgraded with the introduction of the Nitric-Glycolic Flowsheet. Glycolic acid has been shown superior to formic acid as the reducing acid used during chemical processing. The new flowsheet improves or maintains necessary parameters such as 1) reduction of mercury, 2) adjustment of feed rheology and 3) adjustment of melter oxidation/reduction potential. Further, the potential for catalytic hydrogen generation in DWPF processing is virtually eliminated. DWPF process condensates are collected and returned to the SRS Concentration, Storage and Transfer Facilities (CSTF). The Recycle Collection Tank (RCT) collects off-gas condensate during chemical processing, vitrification, and other unit operations performed in DWPF and is the singular return vessel delivering recycle effluent back to CSTF. Each batch of recycle may contain a small amount of glycolate from chemical processing and melter off-gas condensates. To avoid potential flammability issues due to thermolysis of glycolate in the CSTF, chemical oxidation within the RCT has been investigated as an option for mitigating the transfer of glycolate. Sodium permanganate has been down-selected as the best option for oxidation of glycolate. Testing was performed using both 2-L and 22-L reactors (16,800:1 and 1,530:1 scale by volume) with non-radioactive waste simulants to approximate the expected RCT compositions. RCT simulants were evaluated at various process pH and temperature conditions. Also, RCT operations, namely the sequence of addition of corrosion inhibitors (NaOH and NaNO{sub 2}) versus a permanganate strike, were evaluated. Glycolate was introduced via a sludge simulant to mimic both expected entrainment and abnormal process foam-over conditions - the range being between 68 and 5100 mg/kg glycolate. Glycolate destruction was monitored by ion chromatography (IC). The corresponding manganese behavior was monitored in real-time using in situ ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. RCT glycolate content can be reduced to below the IC detection limit within 90 minutes for all concentrations investigated. Ion Chromatography analysis revealed that under alkaline conditions, glycolate is primarily oxidized to oxalate with no significant formation of CO{sub 2} or carbonate, and nitrite is not oxidized to nitrate. Initially, complete oxidation of organics species and nitrite was assumed. Determination of the mechanistic chemical reaction has allowed the required amount of permanganate to be more accurately predicted and the total addition to be significantly reduced. UV-Vis measurements reveal that permanganate (Mn{sup 7+}) is reduced to manganate (Mn{sup 6+}) in the RCT. The oxidant stoichiometry is defined by using the initial permanganate to glycolate (P/G) molar ratio. At low initial glycolate concentration (68 and 140 mg/kg), the minimum required initial permanganate to glycolate (P/G) molar ratio was found to be 5-6. With high initial glycolate concentrations (5100 mg/kg) a lower (P/G) molar ratio of ∼2.5 was needed. The final portion of this effort supporting the nitric/glycolic flowsheet will be to test actual (fully radioactive) RCT samples as per the above simulant tests. (authors)

Correction of Q Factor Effects for Simultaneous Collection of Elemental Analysis and Relaxation Times by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance

A new method for measurement of elemental analysis by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) of unknown samples is discussed in this report as a quick and robust means to measure elemental ratios without the use of internal or external calibration standards. The determination of elemental ratios was done by normalizing the signal intensities by the frequency dependent quality factor (Q) and the gyromagnetic ratios (γ) for each measured nucleus. The correction for the frequency dependence was found by characterizing the output signal of the probe as a function of the quality factor (Q) and the frequency, and the correction for γ was discussed in a previous study. A Carr–Purcell–Meiboom–Gill (CPMG) pulse sequence was used for evaluation of the relative signal intensities, which allows for derivation of elemental ratios, and was correspondingly used to simultaneously measure the T 2 * of samples for an added parameter for more accurate identification of unknown samples.

Methyl formate oxidation kinetics up to 100 atm

Methyl formate (MF, CH3OCHO), the simplest ester, is a representative oxygenated fuel with high oxygen content, and low sooting tendency. However, its oxidation behavior under high-pressure and intermediate-temperature conditions remains insufficiently understood, especially where low-temperature peroxy radical chemistry, methanol chemistry, and pressure-dependent reaction pathways play a critical role. In this study, MF oxidation experiments were conducted in the Princeton supercritical-pressure jet-stirred reactor (SP-JSR) at 20 and 100 atm over the temperature range of 400–950 K under both fuel-lean and fuel-rich conditions. Based on the experimental results, an updated HP-Mech was developed by incorporating previous MF sub-mechanisms, expanded low-temperature peroxy pathways, and evaluated pressure-dependent decomposition kinetics. The newly updated HP-Mech shows greatly improved performance in predicting the onset temperature, the key intermediate species fractions, methanol formation, and the progression of MF oxidation across all the experimental conditions. Path flux analysis indicates that MF consumption at the onset stage is dominated by H-abstraction at the methyl site, forming CH2OCHO radicals that lead to the formation and isomerization of O2CH2OCHO, driving low-temperature chain propagation. Moreover, H-abstraction at the formate site forms CH3OCO radicals that preferentially decompose to CH3, initiating the methanol formation pathway linked to CH3O2 and HO2 chemistry. At the same time, HO2 formation is strongly coupled to MF oxidation through multiple MF-derived radical pathways. HCO originates from MF oxidation and acts as a key coupling species linking fuel consumption to HO2 buildup, especially under high-pressure and intermediate-temperature conditions. In addition to this dominant channel, supplementary HO2 formation pathways involving CH3, CH3O, CH2OH, and CH3O2 reacting with O2 further connect methanol chemistry and oxygenated radical chemistry to the HO2 pool, indicating the central role of HO2 in governing MF oxidation. Sensitivity analysis identifies MF with OH/HO2/CH3O2 reactions and the HO2/H2O2/OH sequence as the key factors controlling reactivity in the high-pressure and intermediate-temperature regime. MF directly reacts with OH/HO2/CH3O2 to consume the fuel and produce reactive radicals like CH2OCHO and CH3OCO that undergo subsequent oxidation pathways. Moreover, HO2 recombination suppresses oxidation at lower temperatures, while thermal decomposition of H2O2 accelerates OH production and promotes fuel consumption as temperature increases. The direct formation of active OH from HO2 radicals further completes the mechanism, improving its prediction especially during the oxidation onset stage.

Characterization of Multiple Trichloroethene, cis-Dichloroethene and 1,1-Dichloroethene Degrading Propanotrophic Communities

Aerobic cometabolism offers a viable strategy for the remediation of chlorinated solvent plumes at oxic sites where anaerobic approaches are limited. In this study, propane-enriched mixed cultures (derived from agricultural soils and an impacted site sediment) which previously degraded 1,4-dioxane, were evaluated for their capacity to also degrade trichloroethene (TCE), cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cDCE), and 1,1-dichloroethene (1,1-DCE) over successive transfers. Sustained biodegradation of TCE and cDCE was observed across multiple enrichments, and cultures enriched on one compound generally degraded the other. In contrast, 1,1-DCE biodegradation was restricted to a subset of cultures and removal times increased over transfers. Further, 1,1-DCE removal was absent at elevated concentrations, both trends consistent with inhibitory or toxic effects. Whole genome sequencing analyses revealed pronounced substrate-dependent selection of microbial communities, with cDCE-degrading cultures being dominated by Mycobacterium and Mycolicibacterium, whereas TCE-degrading cultures were dominated by Rhodococcus. Rhodococcus metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) in the TCE degrading cultures classified as R. opacus or R. wratislaviensis. 1,1-DCE degrading cultures were dominated by Pseudonocardia, although the associated MAGs contained a truncated propane monooxygenase alpha subunit. Functional gene analysis identified both group 5 (prmABCD) and putative group 6 propane monooxygenases.

PVDaCS - A prototype knowledge-based expert system for certification of spacecraft data

On-line data management techniques to certify spacecraft information are mandated by increasing telemetry rates. Knowledge-based expert systems offer the ability to certify data electronically without the need for time-consuming human interaction. Issues of automatic certification are explored by designing a knowledge-based expert system to certify data from a scientific instrument, the Orbiter Ultraviolet Spectrometer, on an operating NASA planetary spacecraft, Pioneer Venus. The resulting rule-based system, called PVDaCS (Pioneer Venus Data Certification System), is a functional prototype demonstrating the concepts of a larger system design. A key element of the system design is the representation of an expert's knowledge through the usage of well ordered sequences. PVDaCS produces a certification value derived from expert knowledge and an analysis of the instrument's operation. Results of system performance are presented.

This study reveals specific changes in lipids and metabolites that are indicative of stress adaptation, substrate use, and cellular recovery during soil drying and subsequent rewetting. Drought induced nutrient limitation was reflected in the lipidome and polar metabalome, both of which rapidly shifted (within hours) upon rewet. Reduced nutrient access in dry soil caused the replacement of glycerophospholipids with phosphorus-free lipids and impeded resource-expensive osmolyte accumulation.

Architectural Analysis of Complex Evolving Systems of Systems

The goal of this collaborative project between FC-MD, APL, and GSFC and supported by NASA IV&V Software Assurance Research Program (SARP), was to develop a tool, Dynamic SAVE, or Dyn-SAVE for short, for analyzing architectures of systems of systems. The project team was comprised of the principal investigator (PI) from FC-MD and four other FC-MD scientists (part time) and several FC-MD students (full time), as well as, two APL software architects (part time), and one NASA POC (part time). The PI and FC-MD scientists together with APL architects were responsible for requirements analysis, and for applying and evaluating the Dyn-SAVE tool and method. The PI and a group of FC-MD scientists were responsible for improving the method and conducting outreach activities, while another group of FC-MD scientists were responsible for development and improvement of the tool. Oversight and reporting was conducted by the PI and NASA POC. The project team produced many results including several prototypes of the Dyn-SAVE tool and method, several case studies documenting how the tool and method was applied to APL s software systems, and several published papers in highly respected conferences and journals. Dyn-SAVE as developed and enhanced throughout this research period, is a software tool intended for software developers and architects, software integration testers, and persons who need to analyze software systems from the point of view of how it communicates with other systems. Using the tool, the user specifies the planned communication behavior of the system modeled as a sequence diagram. The user then captures and imports the actual communication behavior of the system, which is then converted and visualized as a sequence diagram by Dyn-SAVE. After mapping the planned to the actual and specifying parameter and timing constraints, Dyn-SAVE detects and highlights deviations between the planned and the actual behavior. Requirements based on the need to analyze two inter-system communication protocols that are representative of protocols used in the Aerospace industry have been specified. The protocols are related: APL s Common Ground System (CGS) as used in the MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) and the Radiation Belt Space Probes (RBSP) missions. The analyzed communications were implementations of the Telemetry protocol and the CCSDS File Delivery Protocol (CFDP) protocol. Based on these requirements, three prototypes of Dyn-SAVE were developed and applied to these protocols. The application of Dyn-SAVE to these protocols resulted in the detection of several issues. Dyn-SAVE was also applied to several Testbeds that have previously been used for experimentation earlier on this project, as well as, to other protocols and logs for testing its broader applicability. For example, Dyn-SAVE was used to analyze 1) the communication pattern between a web browser and a web server, 2) the system log of a computer in order to detect offnominal computer shut-down behavior, and 3) the actual test cases of NASA Goddard s Core Flight System (CFS) and automatically generated test cases in order to determine the overlap between the two sets of test cases. In all cases, Dyn-SAVE assisted in providing insightful conclusions about each of the cases identified above.
