Nevertheless, containers in HPC infrastructures encounter security challenges, including insecure container images and vulnerabilities related to isolation. Existing container image scanners face a major challenge of low coverage, while current container runtimes struggle to ensure both security and performance for HPC workloads simultaneously. This project addresses these challenges by developing secure containers specifically tailored for HPC infrastructures. The project introduces innovative solutions, including the development of an efficient image vulnerability scanner and a secure container runtime.</p>Collaborative Research: SHF: Small: LEGAS: Learning Evolving Graphs At Scale2023-08-25T12:58:01-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2155434/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2155434/"><img alt="Collaborative Research: SHF: Small: LEGAS: Learning Evolving Graphs At Scale" title="Collaborative Research: SHF: Small: LEGAS: Learning Evolving Graphs At Scale" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2155434/thumbnail/"/></a></p><p>Data management plan for the grant, "Collaborative Research: SHF: Small: LEGAS: Learning Evolving Graphs At Scale."

As the unmanned aviation industry moves towards Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) services, air taxis and air ambulances are expected to become a reality in near future. Handling such a high volume of unmanned air traffic requires innovative solutions for enhanced situational awareness in the airspace. The US Federal Aviation Federal Aviation Administration envisions air tracks specifically reserved for AAM vehicles at altitudes ranging from 500 ft to 2000 ft. Air tracks cross one another at intersections and vehicles may need to share the airspace with other manned and unmanned aerial vehicles. This requires coordination among the vehicles especially during close encounters. Such a coordination requires highly reliable communication links which serve as a substitute for traffic signals on the roads. This proposal addresses this key knowledge gap by investigating strategies for establishing reliable and robust Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication links to support AAM services. This project investigates spectrum-agile millimeter wave-based tunable beamforming strategies needed for establishing reliable and robust V2V communications links to support autonomous flight operations in air corridors along with the supporting radio frequency and mixed signal circuits and steerable antennas.</p>Rapid thermokinetics driven nanoscale vanadium clustering within martensite laths in laser powder bed fused additively manufactured Ti6Al4V2022-05-27T05:53:05-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1934102/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1934102/"><img alt="Rapid thermokinetics driven nanoscale vanadium clustering within martensite laths in laser powder bed fused additively manufactured Ti6Al4V" title="Rapid thermokinetics driven nanoscale vanadium clustering within martensite laths in laser powder bed fused additively manufactured Ti6Al4V" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1934102/thumbnail/"/></a></p><p>Article reports the computational approach adopted for thermo-diffusion kinetics to rationalize homogenously distributed nanoscale vanadium-rich clusters formed within the martensite laths of Ti6Al4V alloy printed using laser powder bed fusion at an energy density of 52.08J/mm³.</p>Collaborative Research: Supercritical Fluids and Heat Transfer - Delineation of Anomalous Region, Ultra-long Distance Gas Transport without Recompression, and Thermal Management2023-09-21T13:35:51-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2179348/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2179348/"><img alt="Collaborative Research: Supercritical Fluids and Heat Transfer - Delineation of Anomalous Region, Ultra-long Distance Gas Transport without Recompression, and Thermal Management" title="Collaborative Research: Supercritical Fluids and Heat Transfer - Delineation of Anomalous Region, Ultra-long Distance Gas Transport without Recompression, and Thermal Management" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2179348/thumbnail/"/></a></p><p>Data management plan for the grant, "Collaborative Research: Supercritical Fluids and Heat Transfer - Delineation of Anomalous Region, Ultra-long Distance Gas Transport without Recompression, and Thermal Management."</p>EAGER: Experimental Methods and Measurements of Anomalous Properties of Supercritical Fluids and their Mixtures2022-06-29T19:26:11-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1953934/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1953934/"><img alt="EAGER: Experimental Methods and Measurements of Anomalous Properties of Supercritical Fluids and their Mixtures" title="EAGER: Experimental Methods and Measurements of Anomalous Properties of Supercritical Fluids and their Mixtures" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1953934/thumbnail/"/></a></p><p>Data management plan for the grant, "EAGER: Experimental Methods and Measurements of Anomalous Properties of Supercritical Fluids and their Mixtures"</p>Collaborative Research: SaTC: CORE: Small: Privacy protection of Vehicles location in Spatial Crowdsourcing under realistic adversarial models2021-07-28T15:31:06-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1827550/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1827550/"><img alt="Collaborative Research: SaTC: CORE: Small: Privacy protection of Vehicles location in Spatial Crowdsourcing under realistic adversarial models" title="Collaborative Research: SaTC: CORE: Small: Privacy protection of Vehicles location in Spatial Crowdsourcing under realistic adversarial models" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1827550/thumbnail/"/></a></p><p>Data management plan for the grant, "Collaborative Research: SaTC: CORE: Small: Privacy protection of Vehicles location in Spatial Crowdsourcing under realistic adversarial models."
