BRE‐X Emissions Database for End‐of‐Life Scenarios of Selective Building Construction Materials to Enable Circular Economy in Construction

In the United States, construction and demolition debris predominately end up in landfills with minimal end‐of‐life Re‐X (recover, recycle, reuse, etc.) scenarios, resulting in large environmental impacts and lost opportunities for material recovery. Except for concrete and metals, which seem to have a few well‐defined end‐of‐life pathways, there seems to be a lack of well‐documented end‐of‐life scenarios for other construction materials, let alone their emissions data. Hence, there is a need for documented end‐of‐life Re‐X scenarios and end‐of‐life data of more building materials to motivate widespread use of Re‐X strategies in building design. This paper outlines the efforts of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Carbon Leadership Forum, Building Transparency, and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill to (a) create an open‐access BRE‐X (Building Re‐X) end‐of‐life emissions database consisting of greenhouse gas emissions data associated with various end‐of‐life scenarios for a select list of high‐impact building construction materials, and (b) integrate the BRE‐X end‐of‐life emissions database with CAD/BIM/LCA tools for evaluating various end‐of‐life scenarios. The paper also presents a few existing life cycle inventory databases that contain sparse amounts of end‐of‐life data for a few construction materials and their limitations in terms of scaling and data consolidation. Finally, a sample of how the collected data can be ingested into whole‐building LCA tools using open data formats and a public access link to the BRE‐X end‐of‐life emissions database is also included.

mzapy : An Open-Source Python Library Enabling Efficient Extraction and Processing of Ion Mobility Spectrometry-Mass Spectrometry Data in the MZA File Format

We have recently reported MZA, a new and simple mass spectrometry data structure based on the broadly supported HDF5 format and created to facilitate software development. While this format is inherently supportive of application development, the availability of a core library with standard mass spectrometry utilities greatly facilitates fast software development. Here, we present a Python library, mzapy, for efficient extraction and processing of mass spectrometry data in the MZA format. In addition to raw data extraction, mzapy contains supporting utilities enabling tasks including calibration, signal processing, peak finding, and generating plots. Being implemented in pure Python with minimal and largely standardized dependencies makes mzapy uniquely suited to application development in the multi-omics domain. The free and open source mzapy is built with extensibility in mind, and future development will support cloud computing and artificial intelligence/machine learning applications. The software source code is freely available at https://github.com/PNNL-m-q/mzapy.

Validation of standardized data formats and tools for ground-level particle-based gamma-ray observatories

Context. Ground-based γ-ray astronomy is still a rather young field of research, with strong historical connections to particle physics. This is why most observations are conducted by experiments with proprietary data and analysis software, as is usual in the particle physics field. However, in recent years, this paradigm has been slowly shifting toward the development and use of open-source data formats and tools, driven by upcoming observatories such as the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). In this context, a community-driven, shared data format (the gamma-astro-data-format, or GADF) and analysis tools such as Gammapy and ctools have been developed. So far, these efforts have been led by the Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope community, leaving out other types of ground-based γ-ray instruments. Aims. We aim to show that the data from ground particle arrays, such as the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) observatory, are also compatible with the GADF and can thus be fully analyzed using the related tools, in this case, Gammapy. Methods. We reproduced several published HAWC results using Gammapy and data products compliant with GADF standard. We also illustrate the capabilities of the shared format and tools by producing a joint fit of the Crab spectrum including data from six different γ-ray experiments. Results. We find excellent agreement with the reference results, a powerful confirmation of both the published results and the tools involved. Conclusions. The data from particle detector arrays such as the HAWC observatory can be adapted to the GADF and thus analyzed with Gammapy. A common data format and shared analysis tools allow multi-instrument joint analysis and effective data sharing. To emphasize this, a sample of Crab nebula event lists is made public with this paper. Because of the complementary nature of pointing and wide-field instruments, this synergy will be distinctly beneficial for the joint scientific exploitation of future observatories such as the Southern Wide-field Gamma-ray Observatory and CTA.

MZA: A Data Conversion Tool to Facilitate Software Development and Artificial Intelligence Research in Multidimensional Mass Spectrometry

Modern mass spectrometry-based workflows employing hybrid instrumentation and orthogonal separations collect multidimensional data, potentially allowing deeper understanding in omics studies through adoption of artificial intelligence methods. However, the large volume of these rich data challenges existing data storage and access technologies, therefore precluding informatics advancements. Here we present MZA™ (pronounced m-za), the mass-to-charge (m/z) generic data storage and access tool designed to facilitate software development and artificial intelligence research in multidimensional mass spectrometry measurements. Composed by a data conversion tool and a simple file structure based on the HDF5 format, MZA provides easy, cross-platform and efficient programmatic access to raw MS-data, enabling fast development of new tools in data science programming languages such as Python and R. The software executable and example Python and R scripts are freely available at https://github.com/PNNL-m-q/mza.

Improving and Automating Building Model Data Exchange

There are many instances throughout a project’s lifecycle where there arises a need for quick and accurate risk assessment of building designs. For example, an unexpected design change during construction may necessitate structural engineers to perform a seismic risk assessment on analytical models of the updated building design using high fidelity structural analysis software, such as ANSYS or Abaqus. However, the efficiency of such workflows often depends upon the interoperability of architectural design software and structural analysis software. When the quality of this interoperability is lacking or even non-existent, the efficiency of virtual engineering workflows is hampered, which increases project costs. A McGraw Hill industry survey of professional users of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technologies found that there is high demand for BIM interoperability for structural analysis, but that the value/difficulty ratio is currently too low for practical use. There have been efforts by the academic community to facilitate model data exchange between the architectural design and structural analysis domains, but such solutions have not been widely adopted by industry, face technical challenges, and oftentimes are limited in applicability for users of various BIM software. Therefore, INL is developing capabilities to improve, automate, and generalize model data exchange between architectural BIM software (e.g., Revit) and structural analysis software (e.g., SAP2000, ANSYS). The goal is to help expedite and automate as much of the pre-processing step for creating analytical models in finite element analysis software as reasonably as possible. Such a "BIM-to-FEA" conversion tool should provide direct benefit to end-users through accuracy, automation, quick turn-around, and wide applicability. To generalize the application of this BIM-to-FEA conversion tool and increase its useability among the many different commercial BIM software currently used by industry, the program is being developed with the concept of openBIM. OpenBIM is the application of non-proprietary, open data standards that allow for BIM model data exchange in a format that is accessible, retainable, and useable for all users. The most widely used open, non-proprietary data exchange format for BIM is the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) schema. IFC is developed by buildingSMART international and is ISO certified (ISO 16739-1:2018). The BIM-to-FEA conversion tool is being developed for compatibility with typical commercial building designs of steel framed structures. The tool is currently capable of importing architectural BIM data of framed building structures, recognizing and extracting the aspects of the model that are required for structural analysis, adjusting the connectivity of frame members, and finally exporting to an analytical model stored in the IFC format. The exported IFC analytical model can then be imported into various openBIM compliant software, such as SAP2000. Such capabilities have already been tested on commercial software, as shown above, and continue to be improved. Work is underway to test the conversion on various commercial BIM software, develop a user-friendly interface, incorporate the program into the broader DeepLynx data warehouse project being developed by INL, and to eventually open-source the tool for the benefit of the community. Future development of the tool envisions the ability for efficient iterative risk assessment of generative building designs, all within a workflow utilizing open-source tools. One such open-source tool will be MOOSE, an advanced finite element analysis tool developed at INL. The conversion tool will also branch out from typical commercial building designs and will aim to incorporate nuclear construction. The aim will be to convert both structural and non-structural components of nuclear facilities, such as curved concrete containment structures and piping systems, respectively.

Tomo2Mesh: Fast Reconstruction and Visualization of Tomography Data in Mesh Format

Tomo2Mesh is an open-source project targeted towards real-time reconstruction, segmentation, and visualization of computed tomography (CT) data in mesh format. The CT reconstruction scheme is based on filtered back-projection of voxel subsets. The segmentation scheme uses a 3D convolutional neural network. To allow for fast, real-time reconstruction, voxel subsets are first identified by coarse reconstruction. The detail in specific regions of interest is improved through full reconstruction of voxel subsets in that region. Data structures are implemented to store and process voxel subsets. Finally, voxel data is labeled using connected components to detect disconnected regions such as voids whose morphological attributes (e.g., Feret diameter, principal axis orientation, local number density, size, etc.) can be measured also in real-time. Finally, a fast marching cubes implementation processes labeled voxel data into a triangular face mesh (vertices and faces) in .ply format for visualization in Paraview or other mesh visualization tools. The code provides a simple programming interface for detecting, classifying, and visualizing regions of interest based on morphology. For example, detected voids can be classified as round pores or extended cracks. Highly porous neighborhoods can be identified based on local number density. The mesh texture (or color) is assigned based these morphological attributes to allow smart visualization scenarios in real-time (e.g., show only long cracks). At the time of first release (July 2022), extraction of face mesh for visualization for raw CT data from a 2 megapixel camera would take between 1-5 minutes for most scenarios.

mzPeak: Designing a Scalable, Interoperable, and Future-Ready Mass Spectrometry Data Format

Advances in mass spectrometry (MS) instrumentation, such as higher resolution, faster scan speeds, and improved sensitivity, have significantly increased the volume and complexity of data. The growing adoption of imaging and ion mobility further amplifies these challenges across MS-based omics fields, including proteomics, metabolomics, and lipidomics. While these technologies unlock new possibilities, they also present significant challenges in data management, storage, and accessibility. Existing open formats, such as the XML-based community standards mzML and imzML, struggle to meet the demands of modern MS workflows due to their large file sizes, slow data access, and limited metadata support. Vendor-specific formats, while optimized for proprietary instruments, lack interoperability, comprehensive metadata support and long-term archival reliability. This white paper lays the groundwork for mzPeak, a next-generation community data format designed to address these challenges and support high-throughput, multi-dimensional MS workflows. By adopting a hybrid model that combines efficient binary storage for numerical data and both human and machine-readable metadata storage, mzPeak will reduce file sizes, accelerate data access, and offer a scalable, adaptable solution for evolving MS technologies. For researchers, mzPeak will enable enhanced interoperability across platforms, seamless support for complex workflows including ion mobility and MS imaging, and faster data access compared to existing community formats such as mzML. Its design will ensure data is managed in compliance with regulatory standards, essential for applications such as precision medicine and chemical safety, where long-term data integrity and accessibility are critical. For vendors, mzPeak provides a streamlined, open alternative to proprietary formats, reducing the burden of regulatory compliance while aligning with the industry's push for transparency and standardization. By offering a high-performance, interoperable solution, mzPeak positions vendors to meet customer demands for sustainable data management tools which will be able to handle emerging and future data types and workflows. mzPeak aspires to become the cornerstone of MS data management, empowering researchers, vendors, and developers to innovate and collaborate more effectively.

Novel Results Visualization for Dynamic PSA and New Modeling Features in EMRALD

The Event Modeling Risk Assessment Linked Diagram (EMRALD) tool, developed at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL), was designed to simplify the creation of dynamic models and support various research projects. One of the primary goals of EMRALD was to provide visual methods for modeling. EMRALD consists of two main components: a web-based user interface for model development and a solve engine for running model simulations. Over time, it has evolved to meet the diverse needs of its users. Initially, EMRALD's results were simple text outputs with final key state percentages and uncertainty bounds. However, because EMRALD utilizes a three-phase discrete event simulation and tracks the paths of each simulation run leading to a key state, there is significant potential to analyze large sets of path results data, including state paths, events, and timing. Visualizing this data meaningfully posed a challenge. To address this, a novel time-based Sankey diagram was developed. EMRALD exports results data in a format that can be opened in this Sankey viewer, allowing users to visualize paths, occurrences, events, and probability data for the entire simulation run in a single diagram. Moreover, when EMRALD was first created, there were limited tools capable of meeting its graphical requirements, many of which are no longer supported. In 2024, a new web-based interface was developed using modern graphing tools, enabling additional modeling features. This paper discusses the new dynamic PSA results visualization capability and the enhanced modeling tools available in EMRALD.

Spectroscopic Properties of Americium(III) in Mineral Acid Media

We report the preparation and optical characterization of three solutions of Am(III) in common aqueous (aq.) mineral acids (HCl, HNO 3 and HBr), including absorption, emission, and Raman vibrational analyses. To our knowledge, this study provides the first detailed absorption spectra of Am(III) spanning the entire UV/Vis/NIR region in these mineral acids reported since the 1960s. Here, using this high-resolution absorption data, provided in an open access format for the broader field, we build on prior work by Carnall and others to provide detailed optical analysis including all transition assignments. This work also includes the first reported absorption spectrum of Am(III) in aq. HBr. Characteristic Am(III) luminescence could be detected from all three samples. These are the first reports of emission from Am(III) in these acid systems, which build on prior emission reports collected from aq. HClO 4 solutions. The acquired emission spectra display anion-dependent shifting of the visible-region transitions by up to 21 nm from their predicted positions, akin to the nephelauxetic effect. The shift magnitude trends linearly according to the acid p K a and more generally according to the transition metal spectrochemical series. These ligand field effects, coupled with luminescence lifetime experiments, indicate that weak Am-X interactions persist in solution.

A Curated Dataset of Regional Meteor Events with Simultaneous Optical and Infrasound Observations (2006–2011)

We present a curated, openly accessible dataset of 71 regional meteor events simultaneously recorded by optical and infrasound instrumentation between 2006 and 2011. These events were captured during an observational campaign using the all-sky cameras of the Southern Ontario Meteor Network and the co-located Elginfield Infrasound Array. Each entry provides optical trajectory measurements, infrasound waveforms, and atmospheric specification profiles. The integration of optical and acoustic data enables robust linkage between observed acoustic signals and specific points along meteor trajectories, offering new opportunities to examine shock wave generation, propagation, and energy deposition processes. This release fills a critical observational gap by providing the first validated, openly accessible archive of simultaneous optical–infrasound meteor observations that supports trajectory reconstruction, acoustic propagation modeling, and energy deposition analyses. By making these data openly available in a structured format, this work establishes a durable reference resource that advances reproducibility, fosters cross-disciplinary research, and underpins future developments in meteor physics, atmospheric acoustics, and planetary defense.

BIM Interoperability Tool for Improving IFC-based Model Data Exchange Between Architectural Design and Structural Analysis for Linear Piping Components

There is a growing need in the AEC industry for the digitalization of model-based data exchange in BIM workflows. However, users continue to face difficulties exchanging data between BIM-based computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided engineering (CAE) software, even with the open, non-proprietary data exchange format called Industry Foundation Classes (IFC). Proposed solutions in academic research focus primarily on building systems, with comparatively little attention to piping models. Therefore, this paper introduces an interoperability tool for enabling piping model data exchange between architectural and structural analysis domains. The tool is tested using a piping model created in Autodesk Revit and shows marked improvement for IFC-based CAD-to-CAE interoperability over existing practice.

Characterization of Soil and Rock Magnetic Properties along Multiple Hillslope Transects at Teller Road Site, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 2018 and 2023

The magnetometer data was collected in multiple directions across the watershed hillslope at the NGEE Arctic Teller Road site at mile marker 27 (TL_MM27) on the Seward Peninsula, Alaska over multiple years in March 2018 and April 2023. The magnetic data were collected using a Geometrics Inc. G-858 gradiometer and G-857 base station in 2018 and the G-864 gradiometer and G857 base station in 2023. The data was collected (in all instances) by towing the gradiometer behind a snow machine around the watershed with the two sensors in a vertical profile with constant spacing during the continuous survey in that specific year. Magnetic total field measurements were collected by gradiometer and base station, and the data processing was performed in Geometrics MagMap2000 software. The processing steps were limited to removal of data spikes (despiking), reading dropouts, and correction/removal of bad GPS points. All offsets between sensors and GPS are stated within the data files and metadata, alongwith the processed and raw data. The Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments: Arctic (NGEE Arctic), was a research effort to reduce uncertainty in Earth System Models by developing a predictive understanding of carbon-rich Arctic ecosystems and feedbacks to climate. NGEE Arctic was supported by the Department of Energy's Office of Biological and Environmental Research. The NGEE Arctic project had two field research sites: 1) located within the Arctic polygonal tundra coastal region on the Barrow Environmental Observatory (BEO) and the North Slope near Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska and 2) multiple areas on the discontinuous permafrost region of the Seward Peninsula north of Nome, Alaska.Through observations, experiments, and synthesis with existing datasets, NGEE Arctic provided an enhanced knowledge base for multi-scale modeling and contributed to improved process representation at global pan-Arctic scales within the Department of Energy's Earth system Model (the Energy Exascale Earth System Model, or E3SM), and specifically within the E3SM Land Model component (ELM).In this data submission there are two sets of raw magnetic data (.bin and .stn for 2018 and base for 2023; raw rover mag for 2023 is in .csv) inside two .zip files that identify the year the mag data was collected. The data are proprietary format to Geometrics and can be opened and processed with MagMap2000 which can be downloaded for free at Geometrics website. There are also two processed data files *.csv for each year and two metadata files *.csv.

Towards a Public Event Display for DUNE

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a next generation long baseline neutrino experiment based at Fermilab, with a near detector near the beam target and a Far Detector (FD) in South Dakota. As the experiment prepares for its first data runs, creating pathways for public engagement and data transparency is essential. We present the first-ever DUNE event display designed for public outreach and education. Developed using data from the ProtoDUNE detectors at the CERN Neutrino Platform, this tool provides an intuitive and interactive interface that allows non-experts to visualise and explore particle interactions in a Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC). By translating raw experimental data into a browser-accessible format, we establish the essential infrastructure for DUNE’s pathway to open data. This talk will detail the technical development of the display, its current implementation with ProtoDUNE data, and the strategic roadmap for integrating it into DUNE’s long-term open-access framework.

Riverbed and Near-Surface Water Quality Data, Hanford Reach, Columbia River, February 2021 - April 2022

This dataset contains longitudinal profiles of natural groundwater tracers (temperature, electrical conductivity (EC), and Radon-222 (Rn)) collected to identify locations of hydrologic exchange flows along a 75-km reach of the Columbia River near Richland, Washington.A jetboat was used to tow a 30 foot long, weighted tether that had one set of temperature and EC sensors just below the water surface and one set of temperature and EC sensors on the end (just above the river bed). The dataset contains profiles of temperature/EC data (resolution: 1 second) collected along the left and right banks during three different sampling events. During the final sampling event, we revisited some "deep holes" where the river was more than 30 feet deep with a weighted tether that was 75 feet long. The dataset has been processed to remove data collected when the sensors were not in the water, or when the water was too deep to keep the tether on the riverbed. We collected grab samples of water for analysis of dissolved Rn in places where the temperature/EC was different from the background river water. The Rn data was joined to the temperature/EC profiles based on the sample times.This dataset is comprised of one main data folder containing (1) file-level metadata; (2) data dictionary; (3) installation methods; (4) February 2021 data; (5) July 2021 data; (6) April 2022 data; and (7) April 2022 deep hole data. All files are .csv format and can be opened with a spreadsheet program (such as Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice).

pyEGAF: Modernization of the EGAF database

One of the most comprehensive resources for thermal neutron-capture data is the Evaluated Gamma-ray Activation File (EGAF), containing data from prompt gamma activation analysis measurements carried out at the Budapest Research Reactor for 245 isotopes. Although these valuable datasets have been freely available for many years, the outdated and cryptic adopted format makes it difficult to utilize the data and it is not generally suitable for modern computational technologies. Furthermore, to help overcome these challenges, we have converted the datasets into an open standard JSON format. Additionally, we have developed a Python implementation of an open-source software package, pyEGAF, designed to interact with the JSON data structures for general purpose access, manipulation, and rapid assessment of the capture-gamma data in EGAF.

Exploring Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry Data File Conversions to Leverage Existing Tools and Enable New Workflows

Ion mobility (IM) is often combined with LC-MS experiments to provide an additional dimension of separation for complex sample analysis. While highly complex samples are better characterized by the full dimensionality of LC-IM-MS experiments to uncover new information, downstream data analysis workflows are often not equipped to properly mine the additional IM dimension. For many samples the data acquisition benefits of including IM separations are all that is necessary to uncover sample information and the full dimensionality of the data is not required for data analysis. Post-acquisition reduction and adaptation of the dimensions of LC-IM-MS and IM-MS experiments into an LC-MS format opens the possibility to use a plethora of existing software tools. In this work, we developed data file conversion tools to reduce the complexity of IM data analysis. Three data file transformations are introduced in the PNNL PreProcessor software: 1) mapping the IM axis to the LC axis for IM-MS data, 2) converting the drift time vs. m/z space to CCS/z vs m/z space, and 3) transforming All Ions IM/MS mobility aligned fragmentation data to a standard LC-MS DDA data file format. Finally, these new data file conversions are demonstrated with corresponding lipidomics and proteomics workflows that leverage existing LC-MS data analysis software to highlight the benefits of the data transformations.

Preliminary Study on Fine-Grained Power and Energy Measurements on Grace Hopper GH200 with Open-Source Performance Tools

The increasing adoption of tightly integrated, heterogeneous architectures, combined with the slowdown of Moore’s law, has made application power and energy-driven optimizations critical to efficiently use high-performance computing systems. This paper introduces a newly developed open-source toolkit that seamlessly integrates the Linux real-time hardware monitoring program hwmon with the Performance Application Programming Interface and the Score-P performance measurement system, thereby enabling fine-grained power and energy measurements for high-performance computing applications. Our primary target platform is the Wombat test bed, which is a system based on the NVIDIA GH200 superchip. The toolkit can capture transient power peaks with high temporal resolution (50 ms) and, thanks to Score-P integration, can map power metrics to specific code regions, thereby providing actionable information on power-intensive operations and inefficiencies. The toolkit also provides a holistic view of both the power and the energy consumption of the entire GH200 superchip by covering all major components: the Grace CPU, the Hopper GPU, and the I/O subsystem. Experiments that use Locally Self-consistent Multiple Scattering, which is an application for first-principles calculations of materials developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, have demonstrated the tool’s ability to identify transient power spikes and uncover opportunities for energy-aware optimizations. Additionally, we introduce a Python-based utility for converting Open Trace Format 2 traces to Parquet format, thus enabling advanced data analysis for numerical integration methods applied to power data for accurate energy profiling.
