Method of Moving Asymptotes Optimization Algorithm in Python

Python implementation of the Method of Moving Asymptotes optimization algorithm described in[Svanberg, K., The method of moving asymptotes- a new method for structural optimization. International journal for numerical methods in engineering, 1987. 24(2): p.359 (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/nme.1620240207). Originally implemented in[GetDP](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?arnumber=717799) [project](https://gitlab.onelab.info/getdp/getdp), although it has been deleted in their repository.

A Python Module for Storing CCD Images with openPMD (openPMD-CCD) v0.1.0

openPMD is an open meta-data schema that provides meaning and self-description to data sets in science and engineering. The openPMD-CCD software module adds interfaces to organize camera (CCD) images in hierarchical data files. This software provides modern I/O storage formats from high-performance computing and provides bindings for integration into experimental control systems, e.g. via Python 3 and LabView 2020.

MoorPy (Quasi-Static Mooring Analysis in Python)

MoorPy is a quasi-static mooring model and a suite of associated functions for mooring system analysis. The core model supports quasi-static analysis of moored floating systems including any arrangement of mooring lines and floating platforms. It solves the distributed position and tension of each mooring line segment using standard catenary equations. Floating platforms can be represented with linear hydrostatic characteristics. MoorPy automatically computes a floating system's equilibrium state and can be queried to identify a mooring system's nonlinear force-displacement relationships. Linearized stiffness matrices are efficiently computed using semi-analytic Jacobians. MoorPy also includes plotting functions and a library of mooring component property and cost coefficients. MoorPy can be used directly from Python scripts to perform mooring design and analysis tasks, or it can be coupled with other tools to compute quasi-static mooring reactions as part of a larger simulation.

Python Library For Vehicular Emission Estimation

PyEmission is a Python library for estimation of vehicular emissions and fuel consumption. This tool covers a wide range of light duty motor vehicles including passenger car, SUV, passenger truck, and light commercial truck. The tool only takes second-by-second driving cycle and vehicle characteristics data as inputs and generate results of vehicular emissions (CO2, CO, NOx, and HC) and fuel consumption.

Hydrogenerate: Open Source Python Tool To Estimate Hydropower Generation Time-series

Hydropower is one of the most mature forms of renewable energy generation. The United States (US) has almost 103 GW of installed, with 80 GW of conventional generation and 23 GW of pumped hydropower [1]. Moreover, the potential for future development on Non-Powered Dams is up to 10 GW. With the US setting its goals to become carbon neutral [2], more renewable energy in the form of hydropower needs to be integrated with the grid. Currently, there are no publicly available tool that can estimate the hydropower potential for existing hydropower dams or other non-powered dams. The HydroGenerate is an open-source python library that has the capability of estimating hydropower generation based on flow rate either provided by the user or received from United States Geological Survey (USGS) water data services. The tool calculates the efficiency as a function of flow based on the turbine type either selected by the user or estimated based on the “head” provided by the user.

Python catemis package for DARHT Axis-II Dispenser-Cathode Emissivity and Temperature Analysis

The catemis python package includes the analysis methods used in paper "DARHT Axis-II Dispenser-Cathode Emissivity and Temperature", which was presented at the 2021 Weapons Engineering Symposium and Journal (WESJ) hosted by Los Alamos National Laboratory. The paper (LA-UR-21-25647) and presentation (LA-UR-21-28231) report on a temperature and emissivity model that has been developed and applied to data from diagnostics used to measure the surface temperature of the DARHT Axis-II hot dispenser cathode over more than a decade of operation. The catemis package provides all the methods used in reporting these results along with the data files used to create the plots and tables in the paper. This includes methods for loading and processing FAR spectral pyrometer data along with methods for temperature calibration of cathode images.

Python Urban Deployment Model (PyUDM) v1.0.0

The Python Urban Deployment Model (PyUDM) is a simulation tool used to investigate networks of static radiation detectors in urban environments. PyUDM simulates traffic, stationary NaI gamma-ray detectors, and moving radioactive sources on simulated vehicles. The analyzed output of the simulations contain valuable insights into the performance of different configurations of urban radiological detector configurations such as their ability to detect sources moving through the environment. To accurately simulate radioactive material moving through urban environments, PyUDM combines Monte Carlo simulation tools, publicly available map and traffic data, and measured gamma-ray spectra from urban environments.
