ETDEWEB versus the World-Wide-Web: a specific database/web comparison

A study was performed comparing user search results from the specialized scientific database on energy-related information, ETDEWEB, with search results from the internet search engines Google and Google Scholar. The primary objective of the study was to determine if ETDEWEB (the Energy Technology Data Exchange – World Energy Base) continues to bring the user search results that are not being found by Google and Google Scholar. As a multilateral information exchange initiative, ETDE’s member countries and partners contribute cost- and task-sharing resources to build the largest database of energy-related information in the world. As of early 2010, the ETDEWEB database has 4.3 million citations to world-wide energy literature. One of ETDEWEB’s strengths is its focused scientific content and direct access to full text for its grey literature (over 300,000 documents in PDF available for viewing from the ETDE site and over a million additional links to where the documents can be found at research organizations and major publishers globally). Google and Google Scholar are well-known for the wide breadth of the information they search, with Google bringing in news, factual and opinion-related information, and Google Scholar also emphasizing scientific content across many disciplines. The analysis compared the results of 15 energy-related queries performed on all three systems using identical words/phrases. A variety of subjects was chosen, although the topics were mostly in renewable energy areas due to broad international interest. Over 40,000 search result records from the three sources were evaluated. The study concluded that ETDEWEB is a significant resource to energy experts for discovering relevant energy information. For the 15 topics in this study, ETDEWEB was shown to bring the user unique results not shown by Google or Google Scholar 86.7% of the time. Much was learned from the study beyond just metric comparisons. Observations about the strengths of each system and factors impacting the search results are also shared along with background information and summary tables of the results. If a user knows a very specific title of a document, all three systems are helpful in finding the user a source for the document. But if the user is looking to discover relevant documents on a specific topic, each of the three systems will bring back a considerable volume of data, but quite different in focus. Google is certainly a highly-used and valuable tool to find significant ‘non-specialist’ information, and Google Scholar does help the user focus on scientific disciplines. But if a user’s interest is scientific and energy-specific, ETDEWEB continues to hold a strong position in the energy research, technology and development (RTD) information field and adds considerable value in knowledge discovery.

γ* → γf{sub 2}(1270) and γ* → γa{sub 2}(1320) Transition Form Factors in e{sup +}e{sup −} Collisions

The γ* → γf{sub 2}(1270) and γ* → γa{sub 2}(1320) transition form factors are considered up to high energies, along with the cross sections for the respective processes e{sup +}e{sup −} → γ* → f{sub 2}γ and e{sup +}e{sup −} → γ* → a{sub 2}γ. It is shown that QCD asymptotic behavior of the amplitudes for the reactions e{sup +}e{sup −} → γ* → f{sub 2}γ and e{sup +}e{sup −} → γ* → a{sub 2}γ can be reached after the compensation of the contributions of the ρ(770) and ω(782) mesons with the contributions of their radial excitations. The ratio σ(e{sup +}e{sup −} → γ* → f{sub 2}γ)/σ(e{sup +}e{sup −} → γ* → a{sub 2}γ) ≈ 25/9, obtained on the basis of the two-quark model of a{sub 2} and f{sub 2} and within QCD, is used to determine σ(e{sup +}e{sup −} → γ* → a{sub 2}γ) at high energies. Recent data from the Belle detector on the γ*(Q{sup 2})γ → f{sub 2} transition over the region extending up to Q{sup 2} = 30 GeV{sup 2} are taken into account. A substantial improvement of experimental accuracies is required for a detailed comparison of our predictions with experimental data at high energies. A recent measurement of the e{sup +}e{sup −} → f{sub 2}γ → π{sup +}π{sup −}γ cross section at 10.58 GeV with the BaBar detector gives grounds to hope for this.

Dataset of Generative AI Workload Power Profiles

This dataset provides a collection of high-resolution (5/10 Hz or every 0.2/0.1 seconds) power consumption profiles for generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) workloads executed on NLR's High Performance Computing (HPC) platform Kestrel. The dataset also includes examples of representative whole-facility power profiles generated using a bottom-up, event-driven, data center energy model . This dataset is designed to support research in energy modeling, infrastructure planning, energy system integration, and sustainability analysis for AI-driven computing systems. The dataset captures time-resolved electrical power measurements across a diverse set of configurations, including variations in job type (inference vs. training), workload (LLM vs. image generation), datasets, and number of compute nodes. Power traces are provided in a standardized format and include both raw/instantaneous and aggregated files. Each profile is accompanied by metadata describing workload parameters, enabling reproducibility and cross-study comparison. The dataset is intended for use in applications such as data center infrastructure planning, energy modeling, demand response and grid impact studies, and development and validation of system-level simulation tools. By making these workload-specific power profiles publicly available, this dataset aims to address the current lack of open, empirical energy data for generative AI systems and to facilitate transparent, reproducible research on the energy and environmental impacts of large-scale AI deployment. If you use this dataset, please cite the associated publication: Vercellino et al., “Measurement of Generative AI Workload Power Profiles for Whole-Facility Data Center Infrastructure Planning,” arXiv:2604.07345 (2026).

Buildings Sector Scenarios: Demand-side data to support energy system planning in the United States

The US energy system is in a period of high uncertainty about load growth, its implications for the energy generation mix, and downstream impacts on customer energy costs. In this context, there is a need for comprehensive, credible, and readily-customized projections of energy demand to ensure that planning decisions account for end-use management opportunities to improve system reliability and affordability. Here we introduce the Buildings Sector Scenarios (BSS) dataset, which includes a benchmark suite of such projections for the buildings sector — a key source of energy consumption, peak electricity demand, and consumer energy expenditures. The dataset contains projections through 2050 covering the contiguous United States (CONUS) resolved down to the county, hourly level by sector and end use for electricity demand and to the state, annual level by sector and end use for non-electric fuels. We summarize the BSS analysis workflow and the tools and datasets that support it, document key BSS scenario inputs and modeling assumptions, and outline BSS scenario outputs. We assess the technical quality of the dataset against historical surveys and projected estimates of buildings sector demand. Finally, we provide guidance on how stakeholders can access, use, and reproduce the dataset, and/or create new scenarios to explore their own analysis questions.

A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF FERMI GAMMA-RAY BURST DATA. III. ENERGY-DEPENDENT T {sub 90} DISTRIBUTIONS OF GBM GRBs AND INSTRUMENTAL SELECTION EFFECT ON DURATION CLASSIFICATION

The durations (T {sub 90}) of 315 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected with Fermi/GBM (8-1000 keV) up to 2011 September are calculated using the Bayesian Block method. We compare the T {sub 90} distributions between this sample and those derived from previous/current GRB missions. We show that the T {sub 90} distribution of this GRB sample is bimodal, with a statistical significance level comparable to those derived from the BeppoSAX/GRBM sample and the Swift/BAT sample, but lower than that derived from the CGRO/BATSE sample. The short-to-long GRB number ratio is also much lower than that derived from the BATSE sample, i.e., 1:6.5 versus 1:3. We measure T {sub 90} in several bands, i.e., 8-15, 15-25, 25-50, 50-100, 100-350, and 350-1000 keV, to investigate the energy-dependence effect of the bimodal T {sub 90} distribution. It is found that the bimodal feature is well observed in the 50-100 and 100-350 keV bands, but is only marginally acceptable in the 25-50 keV and 350-1000 keV bands. The hypothesis of bimodality is confidently rejected in the 8-15 and 15-25 keV bands. The T {sub 90} distributions in these bands are roughly consistent with those observed by missions with similar energy bands. The parameter T {sub 90} as a function of energy follows T-bar {sub 90}{proportional_to}E{sup -0.20{+-}0.02} for long GRBs. Considering the erratic X-ray and optical flares, the duration of a burst would be even longer for most GRBs. Our results, together with the observed extended emission of some short GRBs, indicate that the central engine activity timescale would be much longer than T {sub 90} for both long and short GRBs and the observed bimodal T {sub 90} distribution may be due to an instrumental selection effect.

Differential cross section and vector analysing power of the p {sub pol} p → {pp}{sub s }π{sup 0} reaction at 353–700 MeV

The reaction p {sub pol} p → {pp}{sub s }π{sup 0} was studied with the ANKE spectrometer at COSY-Jülich using a polarized beam with energies 353, 500, 550 and 700 MeV. The proton pairs {pp}{sub s }were detected at low excitation energy E {sub pp }< 3 MeV, where S-wave dominates. The angular dependences of vector analysing power A {sub y }and differential cross section dσ/dΩ of the reaction have been obtained for the most of the angular range at 353 MeV and forward angles at the higher beam energies. The partial wave amplitude analysis, done with the 353 MeV results, is important for Chiral Perturbation Theory tests at this energy. The data at higher energies detalize the energy dependence of dσ/dΩ(0°) obtained earlier. It allows to learn about the dynamics of the Δ(1232) resonance excitation in two-nucleon systems.

First measurement of elastic, inelastic and total cross-section at $$\sqrt{s}=13$$ s = 13 TeV by TOTEM and overview of cross-section data at LHC energies: TOTEM Collaboration

The TOTEM collaboration has measured the proton–proton total cross section at s√=13 TeV with a luminosity-independent method. Using dedicated β*=90 m beam optics, the Roman Pots were inserted very close to the beam. The inelastic scattering rate has been measured by the T1 and T2 telescopes during the same LHC fill. After applying the optical theorem the total proton–proton cross section is σ tot =(110.6 ± 3.4 ) mb, well in agreement with the extrapolation from lower energies. This method also allows one to derive the luminosity-independent elastic and inelastic cross sections σ el =(31.0 ± 1.7) mb and σ inel =(79.5 ± 1.8) mb .

A data-driven mobility–energy typology framework for New York State

Exploring multidimensional aspects of differences in technology adoption, travel, and vehicle ownership across settlement types can help inform energy-efficient and affordable mobility system goals. Concurrently, mapping key enablers, barriers, and risks for successfully meeting ambitious goals and targets (e.g. by geography, age, income, education, population density) offer important explanatory power as to context-specific challenges and opportunities. This paper explores how a highly geographically resolved understanding of social, economic, techno-infrastructural, environmental, and governance (SET EG) factors shape variations in technology adoption and associated mobility and energy outcomes in diverse communities of New York State, in terms of electric vehicle adoption rates, alternative commute mode choices, vehicles per household, and vehicle fuel economy. Results indicate the range of two to three times higher adoption rates for electric vehicles by more highly educated, wealthier, “Core Urban” populations relative to the other identified typologies, given the labels “Rural”, “Suburban”, and “Urban” populations. Additionally, commute mode choice is closely linked with population and employment density—more than 89% of Core Urbanites use transit or active modes, compared with just 26% and 18% of Suburban and Rural residents, respectively. Household vehicle ownership varies from approximately 1.9 vehicles per household in Rural areas to only 0.6 in Core Urban settings. Findings on differences among the four settlement types, which go beyond simply rural to urban contexts, suggest an important need to explore how best to manage and anticipate very different types of services that may be supportive in achieving energy-efficient and affordable mobility systems statewide.

Estimating regional evapotranspiration from remotely sensed data by surface energy balance models

Spatial and temporal variations of surface radiative temperatures of the burned and unburned areas of the Konza tallgrass prairie were studied. The role of management practices, topographic conditions and the uncertainties associated with in situ or airborne surface temperature measurements were assessed. Evaluation of diurnal and seasonal spectral characteristics of the burned and unburned areas of the prairie was also made. This was accomplished based on the analysis of measured spectral reflectance of the grass canopies under field conditions, and modelling their spectral behavior using a one dimensional radiative transfer model.
