COMPASS-FME Synoptic Site Characterization

This dataset contains soil biogeochemical and physicochemical characterization data for the COMPASS-FME synoptic sites.This dataset also contains data for the paper Patel et al. 2025 "Transition zones at the changing coastal terrestrial-aquatic interface", https://doi.org/10.1029/2025JG008978.Coastal soils are a significant but highly uncertain component of global biogeochemical cycles. These systems experience unique spatial and temporal variability in biogeochemical processes, driven by wetland-to-upland gradients and hydrological fluctuations. We studied drivers of coastal soil variability (a) at regional scales and (b) across transects from upland forest to wetland, in two contrasting regions — Lake Erie, a freshwater lacustrine system, and Chesapeake Bay, a saltwater estuarine system. Salinity-related analytes were a key driver of soil variability, not just in the saltwater system, but surprisingly, also in the freshwater system. We had hypothesized linear trends in biogeochemical parameters along the TAI – however, contrary to expectations, transition soils were not consistently intermediate between upland and wetland endmembers; the non-monotonic trends of carbon, phosphorus, iron along our transects suggest that these are key analytes to study in our regions. Rapidly changing soil factors across coastal gradients provide insights into which soil processes may act as precursors to ecosystem shifts. Our comprehensive soil characterization across the coastal transects provides essential data for mechanistic modeling of ecosystem dynamics.The data are provided as processed, csv files. Raw data and processing scripts can be accessed on GitHub (https://github.com/COMPASS-DOE/cmps-soil_characterization).A note on the nomenclature: the experimental design represents three points along the coastal gradient -- upland, transition, and wetland. "wetland" is referred to as "marsh" in the corresponding paper. The two terms can be used interchangeably for the sites in this study.

Defects in SiC for Quantum Computing

Many novel materials are being actively considered for quantum information science and for realizing high-performance qubit operation at room temperature. It is known that deep defects in wide-band gap semiconductors can have spin states and long coherence times suitable for qubit operation. We theoretically investigate from ab-initio density functional theory (DFT) that the defect states in the hexagonal silicon carbide (4H-SiC) are potential qubit materials. The DFT supercell calculations were performed with the local-orbital and pseudopotential methods including hybrid exchange-correlation functionals. Di-vacancies in SiC supercells yielded defect levels in the gap consisting of closely spaced doublet just above the valence band edge, and higher levels in the band gap. The divacancy with a spin state of 1 is charge neutral. Furthermore, the divacancy is characterized by C-dangling bonds and a Si-dangling bonds. Jahn-teller distortions and formation energies as a function of the Fermi level and single photon interactions with these defect levels will be discussed. In contrast, the anti-site defects where C, Si are interchanged have high formation energies of 5.4 eV and have just a single shallow defect level close to the valence band edge, with no spin. We will compare results including the defect levels from both the electronic structure approaches.

BioWatch Sample Management System (SMS) Field Operator Guide

The BioWatch Sample Management System is software developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory to support the Department of Homeland Security BioWatch program. Field Operators use the software to keep track of samples and to provide information on the sample management process to other users and software programs within BioWatch. The information tracked about a sample includes the date and time the filter media is assembled in a filter holder, deployed to the field, placed in and removed from a collector, and received from the field, and identifies who performs each task. Field Operators can also use the software to prepare and print forms to document the chain-of-custody transfer of the samples. The BioWatch SMS Field Operator Guide provides easy-to-understand procedures for each task a Field Operator performs. This guide gives basic information about using the computer and other equipment, instructions about checking and editing data, and provides reference information, including appendices of error messages and solutions, words used interchangeably, and safety warnings plus a glossary and an index.

Ceph Parallel File System Evaluation Report

We used Data Direct Networks’ (DDN) SFA10K as the storage backend during this evaluation. It consists of 200 SAS drives and 280 SATA drives, organized into various RAID levels by two active-active RAID controllers. The exported RAID groups by these controllers are driven by four hosts. Each host has two InfiniBand (IB) QDR connections to the storage backend. We used a single dualport Mellanox connectX IB card per host. By our calculation, this setup can saturate SFA10K’s maximum theoretical throughput (~12 GB/s). Our Ceph testbed employs a collection of testing nodes. These nodes and their roles are summarized in Table 1. In the following discussion, we use “servers”, “osd servers”, “server hosts” interchangeably. We will emphasize with “client” prefix when we want to distinguish it from above. All hosts (client and servers) were configured with Redhat 6.3 and kernel version 3.5.1 initially, and later upgraded to 3.9 (rhl-ceph image), Glibc 2.12 with syncfs support, locally patched. We used the Ceph 0.48 and 0.55 release in the initial tests, upgraded to 0.64 and then to 0.67RC for a final round of tests.

Final Scientific/Technical Report

JHU/APL conducted solid propellant fire characterization tests in warm, humid, ambient conditions near sea level. Yttria and ceria surrogate materials were placed in the fires. The substrates simulating ground surfaces were concrete from a Kennedy Space Center launch pad, and steel covered with a protective ablative material representing a launch platform. In-situ instrumentation consisted of witness materials, thermocouples, air handlers, filters, and cascade impactors; remote instrumentation consisted of optical cameras and spectrometers. Test and analysis team members included the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), Alliant Techsystems, and the Johns Hopkins University. Test data were analyzed, reported, and delivered, including plume rise and transport captured on video. Derivation of the alumina particle size distributions formed the basis for condensing vapor and agglomeration estimates. Assessment of alumina mass in the plume, along with the surrogate fraction from filter forensics, provided an estimate of airborne surrogate mass. Technical interchange meetings were held with SNL and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Specifications for the fire environment were developed and delivered. A thermochemistry model that simultaneously provides the maximum temperature and heat flux was developed and delivered. An SPIE paper on 3D pyrometry of the fire was written and presented.
