  2. Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is a popular technology for identifying small molecules involved in metabolism, better known as metabolites. Coupled with liquid chromatography (LC), LC-MS/MS instruments first separate, ionize, and fragment metabolites, then measure mass-to-charge ratios (m/z) and intensities of metabolite fragments. Understanding metabolite fragmentation is crucial to develop computational tools for identifying metabolites based on this spectroscopic data. Metabolite fragmentation patterns have large variations making it especially difficult for computer scientists to design and implement metabolite identification approaches. To address this interdisciplinary challenge, this article presents FragView, a web-based application providing the web service for visualizing metabolite fragmentation. Users can break chemical bonds to produce metabolite fragments and export 3D fragment structures for 3D printing. Developing FragView is an opportunity for exposing student participants to this interdisciplinary bioinformatics project. This paper summarizes the experience of training student participants in bootcamps and designing the implementation plan based on student backgrounds. Students were exposed to project meeting discussions on coding and raw data visualization and visited a lab with an LC-MS/MS instrument. FragView is an open source, freely accessible tool, released under the GPLv3 license. We will continue to improve and update FragView in the future based on feedback.

  3. A growing number of community energy initiatives have enlarged energy-related social networks to the community level. Information provision is deemed as an important role in such programs while energy data disclosure offers a great opportunity to promote energy savings by engaging energy-related actors. However, it is crucial to communicate this data in an effective way. In this research, we develop a virtual reality (VR) integrated eco-feedback system that enables both occupants and facility managers to interact with real-time energy consumption data represented in a community scale 3D immersive environment. This paper presents the detailed front-end and back-end design and development of this novel VR-integrated eco-feedback system using Georgia Tech’s campus as a test case for implementation. The VR-integrated community scale eco-feedback system is capable of visually characterizing differences in energy consumption across a large number of buildings of different types, and will be tested by users in future research. This research, when deployed broadly in cities, may help promote energy-aware behaviors of occupants and timely intervention strategies to achieve energy savings in urban areas.
