We present a systematic framework for real-time risk-based optimization via multi-parametric programming. A dynamic risk indicator is utilized to monitor online process safety performance and provide model-based prediction of risk propagation, as a function of safety-critical process variables. Risk-based explicit/multi-parametric model predictive control is then developed to generate fit-for-purpose control strategies for proactive risk management. Given the probabilistic nature of risk, the controller design is extended to adapt a chance-constrained programming setting coupled with Bayesian inference for continuous risk updating along the rolling time horizon. A hierarchical dynamic optimization formulation is further developed to integrate risk control, operational optimization, and fault prognosis across multiple temporal scales in an integral but computationally efficient manner. If a potential fault is detected and cannot be prevented by adjusting operating actions, an alarm will be raised well ahead of time with the controller and optimizer continuously performing to attenuate the fault propagation speed and severity. The potential and efficacy of the proposed framework are demonstrated on three safety-critical case studies with increasing level of complexity: (i) Tank filling, (ii) Batch reactor at T2 Laboratories, and (iii) Cyber-physical hydrogen water electrolysis prototype. 

The development and training of deep learning models have become increasingly costly and complex. Consequently, software engineers are adopting pre-trained models (PTMs) for their downstream applications. The dynamics of the PTM supply chain remain largely unexplored, signaling a clear need for structured datasets that document not only the metadata but also the subsequent applications of these models. Without such data, the MSR community cannot comprehensively understand the impact of PTM adoption and reuse.This paper presents the PeaTMOSS dataset, which comprises metadata for 281,638 PTMs and detailed snapshots for all PTMs with over 50 monthly downloads (14,296 PTMs), along with 28,575 open-source software repositories from GitHub that utilize these models. Additionally, the dataset includes 44,337 mappings from 15,129 downstream GitHub repositories to the 2,530 PTMs they use. To enhance the dataset’s comprehensiveness, we developed prompts for a large language model to automatically extract model metadata, including the model’s training datasets, parameters, and evaluation metrics. Our analysis of this dataset provides the first summary statistics for the PTM supply chain, showing the trend of PTM development and common shortcomings of PTM package documentation. Our example application reveals inconsistencies in software licenses across PTMs and their dependent projects. PeaTMOSS lays the foundation for future research, offering rich opportunities to investigate the PTM supply chain. We outline mining opportunities on PTMs, their downstream usage, and cross-cutting questions.Our artifact is available at https://github.com/PurdueDualityLab/PeaTMOSS-Artifact.

Abstract Because of the extreme purity, lack of disorder, and complex order parameter, the first-order superfluid 3 He A–B transition is the leading model system for first order transitions in the early universe. Here we report on the path dependence of the supercooling of the A phase over a wide range of pressures below 29.3 bar at nearly zero magnetic field. The A phase can be cooled significantly below the thermodynamic A–B transition temperature. While the extent of supercooling is highly reproducible, it depends strongly upon the cooling trajectory: The metastability of the A phase is enhanced by transiting through regions where the A phase is more stable. We provide evidence that some of the additional supercooling is due to the elimination of B phase nucleation precursors formed upon passage through the superfluid transition. A greater understanding of the physics is essential before 3 He can be exploited to model transitions in the early universe.
