Metalens design and optimization software (MetaCraft) is a Python-based software that generates a variety of metalens designs based on the user preferences. The design of metalenses involves the time-wise and computationally expensive tasks of searching for the appropriate components. Additionally, designers must ensure that the generated designs are compatible with fabrication capabilities, given that optical metalenses consist of nanoscale structures and elements. Currently, there is a shortage of dedicated software for metalens designs, and even fewer tools are available that can customize designs based on specific requests. MetaCraft is designed with an intuitive interface to allow users unfamiliar with coding to easily navigate through the graphical user interface. This study describes the basic usage of MetaCraft, elucidates its compositional framework, and substantiates the software's performance by comparing the results with the previously reported ones in metalens research.

Due to the rapid proliferation of mobile devices and advanced tracking sensors, there is a significant increase in data production daily. In response, we have created tramoTDA, a Python library that uses Topological Data Analysis (TDA) to enable intuitive and visually-oriented classification of trajectory data. This tool offers a unique approach by focusing on the data’s topological properties, which enables the identification of subtle and critical patterns often missed by conventional methods. tramoTDA combines scientific rigor with user-friendly design, making it suitable for both technical and non-technical users in diverse applications such as urban planning and maritime navigation. Through its innovative use of TDA, tramoTDA not only enhances data interpretation but also facilitates new research opportunities in complex system analysis, positioning it as a pivotal resource in data science and analytics.

Software Capstone Projects provide valuable hands-on experience for students in software development, and creating effective commit messages is an essential, though often challenging, part of this process. These messages play a key role in managing repositories, facilitating collaboration, and offering insights into the project’s progression for mentors and managers. However, creating high-quality commit messages can be challenging, especially for novice developers. We introduce LetsCommit, a tool designed to improve the traditional Git commit command line interface. The tool utilizes three state-of-the-art Large Language Models (LLMs): GPT-3.5, GPT-4, and LLaMa-2, to provide commit message suggestions to students. Results from a user experience survey showed high satisfaction, indicating strong potential for incorporating LetsCommit into future projects. Beyond its technical applications, LetsCommit possesses transformative potential in the field of education. The iterative learning process it supports, coupled with real-time insights, reinforces good software development practices and enhances the overall learning experience. These findings highlight LetsCommit’s substantial impact on software engineering education, setting the stage for further advancements.

This work introduces the “pyJSON Schema Loader and JSON Editor”, a client-side desktop application for offline and local environments capable of creating, editing and tracking metadata-containing JSON documents. The newly developed tool aims to support the generation and re-use of structured metadata, required for the implementation of research data management and the FAIR data principles in research workflows. pyJSON is written in Python, a modern and flexible programming language. The interface consists of a table-like view tailored to present JSON documents, enriched with information from the corresponding JSON schema. It shall assist in creating and maintaining documents containing metadata by simplifying the process of generation and editing based on a given schema. It is used to document data sets, data collections and devices in a local file structure, intending to support the transition from paper-based documentation to more modern research data management workflows, while sustaining a uniform and standardised structure, without the need to bind users to an often complex and resource demanding database system.

In this paper we present a Blender add-on named LFG that allows for easy, large and realistic, 3D model LandFill Generation. Large datasets of vast, diverse synthetic landfills are hard to come by, and greatly in need for the purposes of developing and evaluating a multitude of algorithms (e.g. waste classification, 3D-reconstruction, volume estimation algorithms) in the context of research against environment crime. Additionally, they can be used alongside UAV simulators for the development of path-planning algorithms. Although there are some 3D models of landfills available on online 3D-model marketplaces, these are often expensive, low-quality, low-variety and unalterable models. LFG offers customizable, expandable options and realistic features tailored for landfill generation and research.

Laminar flame codes have an important role in combustion modeling. They can provide a fundamental understanding of flame dynamics and provide a basis for building subgrid scale models in turbulent flow simulations. This paper presents Ignis, an open-source laminar flame code with the capability to offload submodels, like soot formation and radiation, using external packages and libraries. Ignis is written in C++, is documented with Doxygen, and is available on GitHub. It contains three different flame formulations: diffusion flames, premixed flames, and laminar flamelets solved in the mixture fraction coordinate. An option to facilitate creation of a diffusion flame table is also included. These options allow for Ignis to be used as a flame model for comparisons against experimental data, for use in turbulent subgrid models, or for flame structure investigations.

This is an update to PII: S2352711020303290, LyapXool is a C++ program to compute complete Lyapunov functions and their orbital derivatives for any dynamical system expressed by an autonomous ordinary differential equation. New methods and improvements made in the third version are discussed. In particular, the computation of complete Lyapunov functions within quadratic programming methods are now computed by the software. These new approaches can be used to better analyse the behaviour of dynamical systems expressed as systems of autonomous equations. The structure of the program is object-oriented rather than procedural and the output formatting has been restructured to make it easier to understand. The program maintains its user friendliness. This paper describes how the code is organised, how it can be used to compute complete Lyapunov functions and their subsequent properties for dynamical systems, and it provides an interesting example of its application.

In this paper, the MPI-based parallel library Free Molecular Dynamics (FMD) is introduced. The general structure of a typical program utilizing FMD to perform classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is described. Much of the paper is devoted to one of the advanced features of FMD: its ability to compute physical fields defined on distributed grids (a.k.a. “turies”). Each cell of a distributed grid may be shared among any number of MPI processes. Distributed grids can be used to combine MD with continuum models or to obtain macroscopic quantities, e.g. density, as functions of time and space. The library is designed to provide an easy to use interface for its users, as well as equip its developers with reusable tools required for expanding the code.
